The Worst People

You said, "you look like trouble
I said, "well you look like fun"
turns out we were right
just wrong about which one.
Got the booze and the drugs
sweating out of our system
as we sleep, and we fuck
till the sun goes down again

We're not the worst people
but baby, we're not the best
I've got rug burns and bruises
and I won't tell the rest.
We're a train wreck of a trial
that's been labeled a success
we're not the worst people
but baby we're not the best.

Drinking champagne for breakfast
as you go right to my head
I smile as you work for your money
and think about you in bed
The way you pull me close
when I try to create space
how it feels when you lean in
get your beard next to my face
and I could fall in love with you
but I'm not sure it's my place

We're not the worst people
but baby, we're not the best
I've got rug burns and bruises
and I won't tell the rest.
We're a train wreck of a trial
that's been labeled a success
we're not the worst people
but baby, we're not the best.

I don't over think it
I just run into your arms
let you settle around me
it's why I always drive so far
just to hear you say my name
and kiss me on the mouth
but only for the weekend
till I hit the highway south

We're not the worst people
but baby we're not the best
I've got rug burns and bruises
and I won't tell the rest.
We're a train wreck of a trial
that's been labeled a success
we're not the worst people
but we're not the best.
