"Fall Back Guy" lyrics - LISA LOEB

People talk
You must've known that it would get around to my ears
Nothing moves faster than a secret
It's just a matter of time
Till I hear whispers getting louder past my shoulder
Nothing makes headlines like, "It's over" tell me...

Am I your fall back guy
Just a rainy day when the well is dry
Am I your fall back guy
Am I the second string, waiting in the wings
For a curtain call
Am I your fall back guy

Don't you know it's better if you leave me
Than leave me waiting in line
Did you think I wouldn't notice did you
Think that I'd be blinded
By a smile just as wide as it is guilty
Or eyes with room for more than just me

Tell me am I your fall back guy
Just a rainy day when the well is dry
Am I your fall back guy
Am I the second string, waiting in the wings
For a curtain call
Am I your fall back guy

Nobody runs for a silver medal
No one aims just a little shy of their mark
I'm not here to be your plan B, your wait and see
You can't keep me in the dark

Am I your fall back guy
Just a rainy day when the well is dry
Am I your fall back guy
Am I the second string, waiting in the wings
For a curtain call
Am I your fall back guy

Am I your fall back guy
