Verse 1
I said it low, you heard it loud
Raised your voice, drew a crowd
Don’t make this theatric—
there’s no applause for what you’ve caused

Settle down, dear, settle down—
don’t embarrass yourself now
all this effort, all this show—
for a point I already know

Pre-Chorus 1
Let’s not make a spectacle
Of something quite forgettable
You insist it matters now
I just wonder why and how

Take a drink,
Take another drink,
Let it blur, let it sink—
Forget everything

Chorus
’Cause tonight — oh tonight
We’re having a good time.
’Cause tonight — oh tonight
We let go of wrong and right
Just to feel like we’re fine
(We're having a good time)
(We're having a good time)


Verse 2
So faded, didn’t hear a word
Said it low—it went unheard
In this state, in this haze...
I almost like who we've become

inebriation does you favors
Softens all your sharp behavior
Makes you easier to hold—
warmer than you are when cold


Pre-Chorus 2
Get caught on candid camera
Looking better than we are
Frozen in this moment
We look like we get along

Get caught on candid camera
Looking better than we are
Frozen in a perfect moment
Like we never fell apart

Chorus
’Cause tonight — oh tonight
We’re having a good time.
’Cause tonight — oh tonight
We let go of wrong and right
Just to feel like we’re fine
(We're having a good time)
(We're having a good time)

[outro]
Oh, we ache so elegantly
In this cheap catastrophe
Make it look like we believe
In a version we can’t keep

Lovers posing, playing pretend
Smiling like we’re settling in
Like the night can make amends—
for the state we’re really in

We laugh and we drink on borrowed time
But we’re having a good time, yeah
We’re having a good time
I’m having a good time

[fading]
I’m having a good time
[fading]
I’m having a good time

[whisper]
…I’m having a good time
