Take a left at the exit please
He's gotta get out of this body
His lungs collapse on the side of his guitar
Regrets with nothing left so far
'Cause he knows when or not to play himself

He wears the perfect disguise
That keeps them on their feet
Tryna' play Prince Charming
When he's dying within
Tells himself he gotta be real
Tells himself he's going to steal the scene
He's asking the question
Whether he's messing around or he's serious

Take a right over here
Please and thank you
'Cause he gotta get his head outta the sky
And a decision to lie
To keep him fine
'Cause he knows when or not to play himself

He wears the perfect disguise
That keeps them on their feet
Tryna' play Prince Charming
When he's dying within
Tells himself he gotta be real
Tells himself he's going to steal the scene
He's asking the question
Whether he's messing around or he's serious

Time can't buy
What we're looking for
It's like an island
Oppressed and we're poor
If this turns out the way
It's supposed to go
It feels so right
When everything's so blind in the lights

He wears the perfect disguise
That keeps them on their feet
Tryna' play Prince Charming
When he's dying within
Tells himself he gotta be real
Tells himself he's going to steal the scene
He's asking the question
Whether he's messing around or he's serious
