Fooling Ourselves

Could I make a home here
I need to decide
I know I'm qualified
But it's not the point

I can't deny the hope there in your eyes
As you take in all the lights
But I'm not convinced

Ever since I got my haircut
I've felt exposed
Like my head's playing dumb and my heart knows

Excuse me - but what have we been doing?
Are we fooling ourselves?
Into thinking that we ever could be
Happy with the way things are
The way things are
The way things are

Forget this city's energy
You're life giving to me
I'm done running

Seeing you there talking with your hands
And here I come storming in with a perceptive plan
Are you free tonight?
It's a date

Ever since I got my haircut
I've felt exposed
Like my head's playing dumb and my heart knows

Excuse me - but what have we been doing?
Are we fooling ourselves?
Into thinking that we ever could be
Happy with the way things are
The way things are
The way things are

Excuse me - but what have we been doing?
Are we fooling ourselves?

Excuse me but what have we been doing?
Are we fooling ourselves?
Into thinking that we ever could be
Happy with the way things are
The way things are
The way things are
The way things are
