And no one told me that midnights on Lake Street would keep us balanced

While losing our values.

And there were wild fits, we tore the apartment upside down.

And there were moments at midnight on Lake Street we'd crowd the kitchen

With our double vision

Because we had enough and there is salvation in the silence.

And I've been bad (I've been bad)

And I've been good (I've been good)

And you've seen me at my worst

And I've been bad (I've been bad)

And I've been good (I've been good)

And you've seen me at my worst

I think it's time you got me out of your system

Quit playing the victim, it's overkill.

And laced with song and dance

Laced with song and dance

With pomp and circumstance

With pomp and circumstance

No one knew it, but midnights on Lake Streets were constant concepts

With backwards progress

But it never failed, we showed up on Sunday morning

Feeling nervous, and hopeless, and stranded

With double standards like nothing mattered

Like we had enough, and there is salvation in the silence

And I've been bad (I've been bad)

And I've been good (I've been good)

And you've seen me at my worst

And I've been bad (I've been bad)

And I've been good (I've been good)

And you've seen me at my worst

I think it's time you got me out of your system

Quit playing the victim, it's overkill.

And laced with song and dance

Laced with song and dance

With pomp and circumstance

With pomp and circumstance

I think it's time you got me out of your system

And find all the wisdom to carry on

Without this song and dance

Without this song and dance

Without your second chance

Without your second chance

I think it's time you got me out of your system

Quit playing the victim, it's overkill.

And laced with song and dance

Laced with song and dance

With pomp and circumstance

With pomp and circumstance

I think it's time you got me out of your system

And find all the wisdom to carry on

Without this song and dance

Without this song and dance

Without your second chance

Without your second chance
