[Verse 1]
Quiet as shadows, light as a feather
Whisper the words and piece it all together
I lie to myself through my own teeth
I like a love that's easy to leave
[Chorus]
It'll always give you stripes
Where the scars will never show
It'll make you close your eyes
And put your best foot forward
[Verse 2]
We hid ourselves inside of each other
Look the other way, hold my breath till it is over
[Chorus]
It'll always give you stripes
Where the scars will never show
It'll make you close your eyes
And put your best foot forward
Oh oh oh oh
[Verse 3]
Loosen your laces
Cover all the bases
Black out the stars
That remind you where you are
Ooooh
[Verse 4]
When sunset fell
You made me go to hell
You showed me how to pray
Turn the key and walk away
[Chorus]
It'll always give you stripes
Where the scars will never show
It'll make you close your eyes
And put your best foot forward
Oh oh oh oh
