Lyrics
(*cough* Woo... This song’s gonna suck just so you know)
~
I wish we’d been doing this for years
It’ll be a couple more until I’m
Feeling back on top of you, then you on me
That’s the way it’s supposed to be
Taking turns is what I was told
Would get me far when I got old,
But sharing you just left me cold
And I don’t think he learned what I did
I mean...
{}
What the fuck?
(Sorry, I mean...)
What the actual fuck
(Were you thinking dude, seriously?)
—
And I have my doubts
That the lights will come back on
Not that I mind watching you flicker
In and out of that candle light
(Oh, what a sight)
Come on baby, just one night
How about tonight, is that alright?
[]
Pretty girl of my dreams
Oh hallelujah
I can’t believe we’re even here alone
Where’s your boy? What the fuck
Is he doing to ‘ya?
And what the fuck am I supposed to believe
When you say that you don’t have any regrets?
Well girl, you’re mine
What the fuck am I doing wasting all this time?
~
We’re doing this again on Saturday,
But we won’t call it a “date”
You have a way of saying every word I hate
(In the same sentence—that takes some skill.)
Wipe that smirk off of your face
Before I get the urge to put it in its place
But you shut me down before I start, and I’m like
(Bullshit!)
{}
What the fuck?
(No, seriously)
What the fuck are you even doing?
—
And I have my doubts
That this will not be it
I’m becoming too involved to quit
But what you don’t got, I have it
So let’s go at it
How about tonight, is that alright?
[]
Why the fuck do I even bother?
You’re never gonna pick me
If you take another step back I might scream
What about all the hours
We waste away on the phone?
I swear to god if you don’t change your tone...
I guess I’ll drive myself home
Tonight
And what the fuck are you doing wasting all my time?
—
And I can’t stand it when I’m not around you
And I don’t really think you want me to go
And I’m not asking leave
Oh baby, show me a sign
(Just tell me that you’re alright)
You gotta give me something
Or we’re gonna run out of time
#
(Of course I had a good time
And you should know that...
Yeah, really)
If unrequited, silent songs
To the phantoms of the long-since-gone
Still echoes through these corridors
Would you have the heart to stay?
Or would you say that all I say is
“Where the heart is wasn’t safe,”
And make me watch you walk away
Without the guts to make me feel like
I was more than what I see
Every fucking morning—I couldn’t be
‘Cause no matter how much I twist and fight
You’ll never convince me about that night
And maybe this was never right,
But at least we made it past one night
And if you ever wanted to change your mind
Go ahead and change it,
I wouldn’t mind at all
Hallelujah
I wouldn’t mind it at all
Hallelujah
You fucking listening, I wouldn’t mind it at—
Ooo-ooo-ooo Oh hallelujah Ooo-ooo-ooo Oh hallelu—
