Blame It On The Obvious Ways Lyrics - Singles - Idlewild

All the mistakes I made 

I made because 

I didn't know myself very well 

And by this stage I feel like 

I really shouldn't know myself 

I'm forced into a sponsored silence 

Where I'm only paid if I don't say 

What I want to say 

Open up your arms and say 

I can't throw it all away 

Open up your arms and say 

I can't give it all away 

I couldn't even care what you say 

Change, you changed everything 

And blame it on your obvious ways 

I gamble my praises 

And threw the jukebox 

From my favorite phrases 

As we cling to the nightclub walls 

We whisper the words 

We whisper them wrong 

So, we screamed out the wrong words 

Into our own song 

And with a kiss that tasted like drugs 

Which taste like we'll never 

Ever make it home 

Open up your arms and say 

I can't throw it all away 

Open up your arms and say 

I can't give it all away 

I couldn't even care what you say 

Change, you changed everything 

And blame it on your obvious ways 

Throw me around 

First, you've got to count me down 

Don't you think 

You should count me down 

Before you throw me around? 

You throw me into 

Another move I can't remake 

It changes everything 

Open up your arms and say 

Give it all away 

I couldn't even care what you say 

Change, you changed everything 

And blame it on your obvious ways
