Man Overboard - White Lies Lyrics






As she walks down the stairs,
Suddenly the whole room stands in pairs.
No ones arm to hold, not for now.
Sleepless nights alone.
As she walks down the stairs
She's not enough.

"Why is nobody alone but me?
What is it that everyone else has?"

A spine. A mind.
And I'm just not like them
They've got pretty eyes and white lies
And real friends, I'll never fit in.
I'm different.

As he walks in the house
Everybody's got him figured out.
And all the girls lay traps it seems for him.
Can he take one back?
As he walks, in the house he's not enough.

What is it that everyone else has?

A spine. A mind.
And I'm just not like them
They've got pretty eyes and white lies
And real friends, I'll never fit in.
I'm different.

So what is it that everyone else has?
Just tell me everything you know
What is it that?

A spine. A mind.
And I'm just not like them
They've got pretty eyes and white lies
And real friends, I'll never fit in.
A spine. A mind.
And I'm just not like them
They've got pretty eyes and white lies
And real friends, I'll never fit in.
And real friends, I'll never fit in.

  58. j.... ....

    fuck you 2chainz is great.

    this is cool too tho

  59. T.... A....

  60. E.... M....

    I must be the only person who thinks this is one of MOB's better songs lyrically, oops

  61. T.... H....

    real talk meets self titled, great sounding song

  62. C.... Y....

  66. J.... R....

    This song is swag af.

  67. J.... R....

    Post- hardcore *

  68. G.... I....

    I like how the sound of this song is different from previous albums, I can tell this one will be different. True the lyrics might be slightly generic but then it's also truth about the way some people feel.

  69. N.... T....

    When it says real friends I couldn't help but think of the band

  70. d.... ....

    Really Awesome :)

  71. Y.... ....

    Hahaha... you need friends.

  72. S.... K....

    I love thisssss.

  73. S.... J....

    @Hipposlayer69. If I want music genre education from an adolescent...... I will ask first, cheers.

  74. D.... ....

    He shreds hard live.

  75. S.... J....

    @punkfanzrul. You're right, I was trying to be too nice..... Hows American adolescent pop punk pish? Any better?

  76. p.... ....

    Haha that was the shittiest description of this band I've ever heard do you even know what those genres where that you named

  77. S.... J....

    Dont worry, I will. Not staying to listen to this shit with all you 12 year olds lol!

  78. F.... ....

    fuck off

  79. S.... J....

    I though this was the band "white lies"...... Just more american kiddy grunge screamo shit, fuck this Im outta here!

  80. V.... K....

    Yeah, this is good anyways.

  81. D.... G....

    technically its not about a girl. its about being alone

  82. M.... ....

    Not bad, little on the generic side, but this happens as bands progress and lose passion

  83. J.... B....

    I loved this band up to this point, and the melody of this song is great...but these lyrics are abysmal. C'mon Man Overboard, you're better than this.

  84. I.... ....

    Yeah im tired of it maybe im just growing out of my fav genre

  85. T.... B....

    I definitely get what you mean The Story So Far's album "Under Soil and Dirt" was all about one girl. They strayed away from it now but i get what you mean. We need a change of lyrics. Maybe some more happy ones. But its good. The only song i think i have heard that is not about a girl is Love your friends Die Laughing. It may be about a girl. I have no clue. It doesn't sound like it though.

  86. T.... B....

    I agree with you. I feel this song is kinda filled with anger. It is not as upbeat as their other songs but thats good. Need an angry song. The lyrics "What is it that everyone else has" Is my favorite because its filled with a lot of emotion. Man overboard will never have a bad song. They havn't had a bad song ever.

  87. T.... B....

    I can totally agree with you. Atlas has gotten me through a tough time in my life. Every song of theirs is good. There is no bad song by man overboard.

  88. K.... ....

    shredding? in a pop punk bank? ON RISE RECORDS? come on now.

  89. D.... G....

    SO GOOD

  90. T.... ....

    Man Overboard writes the best lyrics. Story of my life, dude. Ugh they're so perfect. ♥ Pre-ordered the album.

  91. C.... S....

    Wasn't a MO fan until now.

  92. J.... B....

    I fucking love this song.

  93. m.... y....

    Well seems this album is definitely hitting the add cart

  94. k.... ....

    I could listen to this song all day everyday. SO freaking good.

  95. T.... ....

    fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck Man Overboard is so wonderful.
    I can't get over it. ♥

  96. C.... X....

    The style has changed. It's... "heavier"... but not quite the word. The music is more downbeat than before. I still love the song, though. It reminds me of "Pros and Cons of Breathing" by Fall Out Boy.

  97. R.... M....

    My current favourite song of the year :D

  98. E.... D....

    That doesn't really narrow it down any...

  99. j.... ....

    sick chorus
