lyrics

It's too damn cold outside
I said it about ten times
But you still think we should go out tonight

Put on our coolest clothes
It's time to put on our best shows
I'll leave my sadness at home

The ugly days, open flames
People always run away
From putting all their demons on display

Chorus:
Put your smiles on, we don't have to go down that road
But I'm aching and you're shaking
Yeah, we both know
Settle down, these familiar hearts are the safest place to go

The starriest nights and tiny smiles
Little things that are worthwhile
Kept in tiny, fragile viles
Forged on nights spent in denial

Sometimes we run away just to buy time
Sometimes we hold just a little too tight
It's the only way to stay alive when you're not
Blinded by comfortable lies

Chorus
But if you
Put your smiles on, we don't have to go down that road
But I'm aching and you're shaking
Yeah, we both know
Settle down, these familiar hearts are the safest place to go
