Can Opener - Quicksand

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 your the one that everyone talks about

The attention your 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
