Lyrics Blame It On Obvious Ways - Idlewild

Blame It On Obvious Ways

All the mistakes I made,
I made because I didn’t know
my self very well,
and by this stage,
I feel like I really should know myself,
I’m forced into a sponsored silence,
where I’m only paid if I don’t
say what I want to say,
Open up your arms and say,
I can’t throw it all away,
open up your arms and say,
I can’t give it all away,
I couldn’t even care what you say,
you change,
you change everyday,
and blame it on your obvious ways,
I gamble my presents,
and full the jukebox full of
my favourite phrases,
as we cling to the nightclub walls,
we whisper the words,
we whisper them wrong,
and so we screamed out the wrong words,
into our own song,
and with the kiss that tasted like drugs,
which taste like,
we’ll never ever make it home,
Open up your arms and say,
I can’t throw it all away,
open up your arms and say,
I can’t give it all away,
I couldn’t even care what you say,
you change,
you change everyday,
and blame it on your obvious ways,
Throw me around,
first you’ve got to calm me down,
don’t you think you should calm me down,
before you throw me around,
you throw me into another
move I came to make,
it changes every day,
Open up your arms and say,
give it all away,
I couldn’t even care what you say,
you change,
you change everyday,
and blame it on your obvious ways,
