Give yourself a little competition

I can see it flarin’ up in your eyes.

Give yourself a moment to remember

All the trailing looses ends you’ve left behind.

And I keep on a wondering

How the odds around you are kept so high.

And give yourself a little competition

It’s the only thing that’ll get you by.



Keep the word salted,

It’s what you’ve always wanted.

Keep the word salted…



Suddenly I’ve lost communication

And you swear that it’s all a mistake.

But you must really like the situation

Coz the clean break you wanted is now in your face.

She looked at you, then at the room,

Then at the state she’s been living in.

But suddenly I reel in to position

It’s the news you held so highly paid.



Keep the word salted,

It’s what you’ve always wanted.

Keep the word salted…

Just say goodbye, don’t look back…whoa!



Give us all a little more emotion

We can see it wellin’ up in your eyes

We can see your ferns getting thicker

As you’re showing the signs of compromise

But don’t go running back when you realize that

Nobody’s buying into your lies.

And give yourself a little more opinion

Coz we know you’ll never choose to rectify.



Keep the word salted,

It’s what you’ve always wanted.

Keep the word salted…

Just say goodbye, don’t look back!
