Ständchen, D. 957 No. 4 (Arr. for Voice & Guitar) - Philippe Sly & John Charles Britton

10pm and my friend's making bets on who will black out Maybe I should stay in, try to lay low, keep my head down It's not that I don't like having a good time I just can't deny It's low-key fucked up to end up in your bed and not know how 12am and now it's time to make some dumb decisions Flirt with people who don't even care about my interests Blame it on the juice tomorrow I'll ask for forgiveness But tonight I've washed away any trace left of my innocence Flashing lights Hit my eyes I'm fading Into black No turning back From the mess I'm making 2am bodies numb But we keep on dancing Tell me which part of this is fun 'Cause all I'm asking Is anybody in here actually having a good time Because all I see around me is chaos served with a lime Another bottle down and we have never felt this high Oh, did I forget to mention? This is how we pretend we're alright (Pretend we're alright) Last call for another round, we really better hurry Sis is crying in the bathroom stall, why is she hurting Another kid is passed out on the lawn, his friends deserting But tomorrow when we wake up all of this will just be blurry Flashing lights Hit my eyes I'm fading Into black No turning back From the mess I'm making 2am bodies numb But we keep on dancing Tell me which part of this is fun 'Cause all I'm asking Is anybody in here actually having a good time Because all I see around me is chaos served with a lime Another bottle down and we have never felt this high Oh, did I forget to mention? This is how we pretend we're alright (Pretend we're alright) And when the bars are closed I'll stumble my way home With someone I barely know Please don't let me feel alone (Are you okay?) Is anybody in here actually having a good time Because all I see around me is chaos served with a lime Another bottle down and we have never felt this high Oh, did I forget to mention? This is how we pretend we're alright

So little did I know That there's no turning back once you've committed the crime Oh, how far I had to go Too bad I never saw the warning signs in her eyes Trying to escape, better yet disappear From the person staring at me in the mirror 'Cause she looks more and more unknown to me every day And I tried relentlessly to keep her here But she wants the end for us both to be near Now it's either her or me Only one of us can stay So let this be my battle cry 'Cause I'm fighting for my life And I won't stop until I've made my way back to safe haven No need for an alibi When it's just me, myself, and I But this time I'm gonna rise up and find myself liberated, woah Let go, let go, loosen up your chokehold I can't breathe when you keep me in your grip Who would have known My very own shadow Would reach out its foot hoping that I trip Kick me when I'm already down Then just leave me there on the ground dying Alone, alone, 'til you want one more go And I brace myself to do it again Trying to escape, better yet disappear From the person staring at me in the mirror 'Cause she looks more and more unknown to me every day And I tried relentlessly to keep her here But she wants the end for us both to be near Now it's either her or me Only one of us can stay So let this be my battle cry 'Cause I'm fighting for my life And I won't stop until I've made my way back to safe haven No need for an alibi When it's just me, myself, and I But this time I'm gonna rise up and find myself liberated, woah Rise up liberated Rise up liberated Rise up liberated
