Mona Lisa
by Paper Route

Album: Real Emotion

Verse 1
Fly
Your head high still at 7 AM
I'll stay up waiting for you to land
You're such a mess and you know
Chasing and chasing the afterglow

So
I have your name on the tip of my lips
You got a face that nobody forgets
You are a sign of the times
Nobody knows who you are tonight

Pre-Chorus
I know I tried to let my mind go off alone
This time you've got to know

Chorus
You think you're Mona Lisa
Just hanging around
You're high enough for both of us
And not coming down

You think you're Mona Lisa
When no one's around
You can't believe the irony
Just look at you now

Verse 2
Numb
You’re looking framed as you lean on the wall
You sober up and you’re making a call
This is the way it begins
You love the view of an audience

Dance
All in your dress so skinny and black
Your manic heart’s gonna overreact
Because in time you will see
You never knew you were using me

Pre-Chorus
You think it's love because you want it bad enough
This time you've got to know

Chorus
You think you're Mona Lisa
Just hanging around
You're high enough for both of us
And not coming down

You think you're Mona Lisa
When no one's around
You can't believe the irony
Just look at you now

Bridge
Fly
You’re head high still at 7am
I can’t keep waiting for you to land
You’re such a wreck and you know
Trapped with your back to the wall alone

So
I took your name from the tip of my lips
You’re just a face that I wanna forget
You are a sign of the times
Nobody knows who you are tonight

Chorus
You think you're Mona Lisa
Just hanging around
You're high enough for both of us
And not coming down

You think you're Mona Lisa
When no one's around
You can't believe the irony
Just look at you now

Outro
Wake up, baby
You are all alone
And we both know that
Wake up baby, yeah

I’m not waiting
You are alone
And we both know that
Wake up baby, yeah
