I'll take off my shoes
I'll stay a while
I'll look you square in the eye
Just do me
This favor

Lie to me
Lie
Lie like you were born for it

Pretty lies, if you don't mind
Grains of sand I can build my dream house on
An hour and a half before the tide rushes in

I'll make it easy
For you to make it good
I'll tell you what I want to hear
You just repeat it back to me

Lie to me
Lie
Tell me all about that house
And the property taxes
And how at the end of the day
We'll never really own any of it

But we'll pretend
Just like everybody else
Just like we're already doing
Right now

Lie to me
Lie
Kiss
By kiss
By bittersweet kiss
And make me believe it

Then lay with me
Till morning
When your sober mind
Can't recall
A single thing
Your drunk mouth promised
