Best Excuse by Manic Heights Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Someone repave the yellow-brick road
I never found my way back home
We were stuck in a technicolor movie
Now I'm lost in a never-ending lucid dream
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Yes, we're lying carelessly
And you might just convince me
Each time we redefine the truth
I get a little more lost in you
[Chorus]
We're starving artists, seldomely confused
How these breaks never left a bruise
Maybe you are just my headache on a Tuesday afternoon
I don't need a reason when you're my best excuse
[Verse 2]
The impulse swept me off my feet this time
I needed heart and peace of mind
We were stuck in our own distant fantasies
Somehow still getting lost in each others' dreams
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yes, we're living carelessly
Moving fast and far between
And we can't redefine the past
I'll return to make these moments last
[Chorus]
We're starving artists, seldomely confused
How these breaks never left a bruise
Maybe you are just my headache on a Tuesday afternoon
I don't need a reason when you're my best excuse
Yes, time is a funny thing
I'm getting lost in these memories
And darling, I can't hide the truth
'Cause every single time I fall for you
[Chorus]
We're starving artists, seldomely confused
How these breaks never left a bruise
Maybe you are just my headache on a Tuesday afternoon
I don't need a reason when you're my best excuse
We're starving artists, seldomely confused
How 2:00 am could feel just like noon
Baby, you could stomp my heart out with your high-heeled boots
I'm letting go of something that I don't wanna lose
Someone repave the yellow-brick road
I never found my way back home
We were stuck in a technicolor movie
Now I'm lost in a never-ending lucid dream
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Yes, we're lying carelessly
And you might just convince me
Each time we redefine the truth
I get a little more lost in you
[Chorus]
We're starving artists, seldomely confused
How these breaks never left a bruise
Maybe you are just my headache on a Tuesday afternoon
I don't need a reason when you're my best excuse
[Verse 2]
The impulse swept me off my feet this time
I needed heart and peace of mind
We were stuck in our own distant fantasies
Somehow still getting lost in each others' dreams
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yes, we're living carelessly
Moving fast and far between
And we can't redefine the past
I'll return to make these moments last
[Chorus]
We're starving artists, seldomely confused
How these breaks never left a bruise
Maybe you are just my headache on a Tuesday afternoon
I don't need a reason when you're my best excuse
Yes, time is a funny thing
I'm getting lost in these memories
And darling, I can't hide the truth
'Cause every single time I fall for you
[Chorus]
We're starving artists, seldomely confused
How these breaks never left a bruise
Maybe you are just my headache on a Tuesday afternoon
I don't need a reason when you're my best excuse
We're starving artists, seldomely confused
How 2:00 am could feel just like noon
Baby, you could stomp my heart out with your high-heeled boots
I'm letting go of something that I don't wanna lose
