Yeah, when the crack sounds in the wood, you will know that I'm down for good. When the crack sounds in the wood you will know, old friend, that I'm down for good.
I want to try to stand my ground; dig my heels into the hills. Hope someone will come to write my ballads. No one will.
If you weren't so stupid, I could have loved you. And if you weren't so stupid, but you're pretty stupid. And if you weren't so busy, I could have loved you. But you work in an office and you've got other offers.
But let's not be friends, or else this will never end. Let's not be friends for sure, for sure.
And if you weren't so ugly, I could have loved you. It's something I tell myself when I'm down to get high. Lord. If you made me a coffee, I could have loved you. And I'd make you hot chocolate and anything you wanted.
Tell me, who is invited? So fucking delighted to see all the boys, you see. Tell me, why don't I fight it? What does it say about me?
And let's not be friends, or else this will never end. Let's not be friends for sure, for sure.
We'd adopt, we'd have dogs. I have all the things he's got. But I'm not.
So let's not pretend that there'll be a happy end. Let's not be friends for sure, for sure.
From the liquor stores to the train stop floors your filthy room, your drama blues I'm nothing if I'm not with you always right, always wrong dressed in black is like loving you theres nothing I haven't worn nothing I haven't said before
Remember when you lost your shit and Drove the car into the garden And you got out and said I’m sorry To the vines and no one saw it I need my girl I need my girl
I wanna hurry home to you Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain God, I'm very, very frightened, I'll overdo it
and i saw you pull your hair back. saw you messing with your earrings. saw you trying to smile. hey! you don't have to smile for me. the moon was rising over bridlington. and you had blood all over your hands. something was cracking in the rafters of our house. and you had blood all over your hands.
You can stand up, or you can run. You and I both know what you've done, And I will carry you home. I will carry you home. I will carry you home in my teeth.
