"The Test" lyrics - THE ACADEMY IS...

THE ACADEMY IS...
"The Test"
(Sam Hollander / The Academy Is...)

Look like a lush, talk like a tease
The way you like it
In front of your house, alone on the street
You ask me to come inside
Asleep through all our classes
You hang me out to dry

[Chorus:]
If this is a test
I'm losing my shit
Would it kill you to care
As much as I did?
If this is a test
I'm wasting my breath
You're a stranger I know well
And not at all

Heart on a hook, thrown out to the sea
Your basement busy
Sitting in the dark, I turn the radio off for a
Phone call you'll likely miss
Wake me when it's over
The last sound of goodbye

[Chorus:]
If this is a test
I'm losing my shit
Would it kill you to care
As much as I did?
If this is a test
I'm wasting my breath
You're a stranger I know well
And not at all

[Bridge:]
"Let's imagine the end before we even begin," you said
"Well, let's imagine the end before we even begin," you said
You said, you said

[Chorus:]
If this is a test
I'm losing my shit
Would it kill you to care
As much as I did?
If this is a test
I'm wasting my breath
You're a stranger I know well
If this is a test
I'm losing my shit
Would it kill you to care
As much as I did?
If this is a test
I'm wasting my breath
You're a stranger I know well
And not at all, and not at all

[Outro:]
You're a stranger I know well
And not at all, and not at all
You're a stranger I know well
