Carolina Heat

You, Me, and Everyone We Know

We're at the tip-top, yeah, we're not getting any better than this 
I'm out of lines, girl, We're not getting any smoother than this 
But could you blame me if I... if I... if I... 
Took you all for prisoner with just one line, one lie 

Because I'll be the preacher to all his converts 
"donate now to my rightful cause" 
But what good is a quick healing to go? 
If the lesson is never learned it's just like stitches for show 

They say the Carolina heat 
Isn't something that keeping a cool head can beat 
But don't discount their winter winds 
And all the cold shoulders that the slightest draft lets in 
And with empty stomachs and hungry eyes 
Our only choice was to swallow pride 
But I guess, I guess you just ate much better than the rest 

We're at the ground floor 
But our numbers they only get higher from here 
It's not the failure, but the cost of success 
Is the thing I can't help but fear 

This isn't righteous 
It's a mid-life crisis 
I'm not compelled 
You just convinced me to write this 
It's for the greater good 
'Cause I'd rather be great than good 

They say the Carolina heat 
Isn't something that keeping a cool head can beat 
But don't discount their winter winds 
And all the cold shoulders that the slightest draft lets in 
And with empty stomachs and hungry eyes 
Our only choice was to swallow pride 
But I guess, I guess you just ate much better than the rest 

"we're at the ground floor"
"it's not the failure"

You're skin was appealing wallpaper 
Now you're skin is just peeling wallpaper 
You're skin was appealing wallpaper

You're skin was appealing wallpaper
Now you're skin is just peeling wallpaper
You're skin was appealing wallpaper
Now your skin is just peeling, your skin is just peeling 

You're skin was appealing wallpaper
Now you're skin is just peeling wallpaper
You're skin was appealing wallpaper
Now your skin is just peeling, your skin is just peeling 
Your skin is just peeling off! 

They say the Carolina heat 
Isn't something that keeping a cool head can beat 
But don't discount their winter winds 
And all the cold shoulders that the slightest draft lets in 
And with empty stomachs and hungry eyes 
Our only choice was to swallow pride 
But I guess, I guess you just ate much better than the rest
