[Verse 1] Dollar-store frame on the wall Bent card table, one leg gone Tape on the arm of the couch I laugh when it drops again Receipt stuck in my shoe Last week’s sauce on the vinyl seat Everything I own says borrowed Everything I touch wears cheap [Pre-Chorus] And I keep it moving Keep it patched One more scratch One more crack I tell myself That’s just the look But it feels like Renting a good mood [Chorus] It looks all right from the doorway Hums when you keep your hands light Sun hits it, starts to buckle Push too hard and it won’t stay right Pretty from far, but up close You can hear the seams complain [Verse 2] My phone’s got a spiderweb back One button hangs by thread Shoelace tied with a paper clip Lentils for dinner again I wear the shine like a mask Fake gold buckle, black cap Every yes comes with a catch Every promise comes back flat [Pre-Chorus] And I keep it moving Keep it light Smile real wide Sleep too tight I tell myself This is enough But the seams show up When the luck runs off [Chorus] It looks all right from the doorway Hums when you keep your hands light Sun hits it, starts to buckle Push too hard and it won’t stay right Pretty from far, but up close You can hear the seams complain [Bridge] If I shake it, it talks back If I lean on it, it caves I’m sick of pretending This is a way This is a way Give me something that stays put Something that won’t split in my hands Something real enough to take a hit Till it stands [Final Chorus] It looks all right from the doorway Hums when you keep your hands light Sun hits it, starts to buckle Push too hard and it won’t stay right Pretty from far, but up close I want something I can name It looks all right from the doorway But I want more than this game
