[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
