Emoticons - The Wombats

It’s tough to stay objective, baby

With your tongue abseiling down my neck

It’s a bulletproof offer I can’t accept

It’s tough to maintain focus, baby

Now all my elephants are in the room

We crave the fiction when we need the truth

You need to find a different boy’s heart to chew

Chew

And all these emoticons and words

Try to make it better but they only make it worse

It’s tough to feign indifference, baby

Now I’m spending all the money I have

Trying to impress you’s kinda driving me mad

And I don’t blame the pressure or the vultures in the sky

I blame what happens every time we’re under neon lights

We crave the tension in a room with a view

You need to find a different boy’s heart to chew

Chew

And all these emoticons and words

Try to make it better but they only make it worse

And all these emoticons and words

Fail to make it better, their attempts just make it worse

And it’s everything I want

And nothing I can keep

Behind these metaphors

I want you literally

We crave the fiction when we need the truth

You need to find a different boy’s heart to chew

Chew

And all these emoticons and words

Try to make it better but they only make it worse

But I like it here so much I might stay

The edge of nowhere’s such a beautiful place

The edge of nowhere’s such a beautiful place
