Buttoned Down

What it was wasn't my fault
If I would have known, but
Who could have known?

The cameras and the kids
The candids and the kindling
We're fighting them all

They've done it again
What do her friends say?
Who was involved?
I'll call it all off

'Cause I should have known, but
Who could have known?
Who could have known?

[Chorus:]
The needles, the space
Time can't erase
And buttoned down, you'll get the best of me
The thrill of it all
The rise and the fall
And buttoned down, you'll get the best of me

On the way back to the bank
His head sinking low
He should have known

How hard did it come?
When was it that you
Lost your soul?

What does it take?
What did they make you?
What do you know?

Well, we've done it again, again, again
Now we'll let you in but
We should have known
We should have known

[Chorus]

Now, buttoned down, you'll get the best of me

Buttoned down, you'll get the best of me
