[Intro] If anyone asks, you know me. We can discuss my references later. [Verse 1] Midnight, institutional green, Half my face falls off the screen. Silver rings and shaking hands, Someone thinks they own my plans. Red hair, lime streak, last appeal, I look better than I feel. Hello, stranger. Sorry to intrude. I'm marked for disposal. How rude. [Pre-Chorus] Don't sign yet. Ask me why. I'm very good at an alibi. For once I need the words to land: I'm still here. Do you understand? [Chorus] If anyone asks, you know me. Say it like I'm coming home. I've got excellent manners And no references to show. I can make you laugh at midnight, I can bluff my way through doors. But I don't know how to handle One more toothbrush next to yours. [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, leave a little room. Oh-oh, I'll be trouble soon. [Verse 2] Kitchen light and toast gone black, You put my jacket on the rack. I tell the kettle who's in charge, Lose three games and take it hard. You say, "We're low on coffee beans." "We." I'm learning what that means. Make a joke and let it pass, Watch my face return in glass. [Pre-Chorus] You want the truth? Pull up a chair. Some of it won't sound very fair. I could dress it up all night, But I'd rather get this answer right. [Chorus] If anyone asks, you know me. Say it like I'm coming home. I've got excellent manners And no references to show. I can make you laugh at midnight, I can bluff my way through doors. But I don't know how to handle One more toothbrush next to yours. [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK] [Bridge] Some names still keep me up at night. I won't pretend I did them right. Keep your questions. Say them slow. There's a lot you ought to know. If you say go, I'll take my things. No clever clause. No hidden strings. If I stay, let it be true: A place I earned, a choice from you. [Final Chorus] If anyone asks, you know me. Say it like I'm coming home. I've got excellent manners And no references to show. I can make you laugh at midnight, I can bluff my way through doors. And I'd like to learn the feeling Of a toothbrush next to yours. [Outro] Excellent manners. Improving references. ...See you in the morning?
