Mr. Brightside Lyrics

[00:06.54] Comin' out of my cage and I've been doin' just fine
[00:10.09] Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
[00:13.30] It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
[00:16.45] It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
[00:19.97] Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
[00:23.22] While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
[00:26.42] Now they're goin' to bed and my stomach is sick
[00:29.62] And it's all in my head, but she's touching his

[00:32.53] Chest now
[00:33.93] He takes off her dress now
[00:37.25] Let me go
[00:45.88] And I just can't look, it's killing me
[00:51.68] And taking control

[00:58.44] Jealousy
[01:00.12] Turning saints into the sea
[01:03.08] Swimming through sick lullabies
[01:06.64] Choking on your alibis
[01:09.84] But it's just the price I pay
[01:13.08] Destiny is calling me
[01:16.24] Open up my eager eyes
[01:21.44] 'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

[01:37.64] I'm comin' out of my cage and I've been doin' just fine
[01:40.99] Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
[01:44.27] It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
[01:47.50] (It was only a kiss) It was only a kiss
[01:50.90] Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
[01:53.90] While he's havin' a smoke and she's taking a drag
[01:57.22] Now they're goin' to bed and my stomach is sick
[02:00.42] And it's all in my head, but she's touching his

[02:03.34] Chest now
[02:04.93] He takes off her dress now
[02:08.08] Let me go
[02:16.74] 'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me
[02:22.42] And taking control

[02:29.17] Jealousy
[02:30.70] Turning saints into the sea
[02:34.10] Swimming through sick lullabies
[02:37.21] Choking on your alibis
[02:40.67] But it's just the price I pay
[02:43.78] Destiny is calling me
[02:47.15] Open up my eager eyes
[02:52.35] 'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

[03:08.18] I never
[03:14.30] I never
[03:20.78] I never
[03:27.26] I never
[03:33.06]
