Quicksand - Can Opener Lyrics

A trap to fall, fall into easy
Believe in what you look like outside

A stain you can't remove
A stain that keeps you from that place
Where you'd probably have much left to prove

Come down, don't fall over your ego
Don't mind your friends
They just want to go where the fun goes down
Yeah, you want to go up, up, up, up

Hip, hip, hooray, for you
Now you're the one that everyone talks about
The attention you're not getting, it makes you so upset

So take me down
To the place where you can look your best
Better than anyone else around

A stain you can't remove
A stain that keeps you from that place
Where you'd probably have much less to prove

Once you tried, once you tried
Tried to get it right
But you couldn't figure out what it takes to be liked

You're grown up and now you've gone back
To find a way to get along, it's just an act
You can wipe that smile
Now you're the one that everyone talks about

Take time, take it easy
I know you work so hard
But your advantage is your beauty
And that's beautiful

Take time, take it easy
I know you work so hard
But you know what your advantage is
And that's beautiful, and that's beautiful
And that's beauty
