a song about being strong and independent in a failing relationship. |
*it's a little difficult to read this properly with out the music, but i did my best to make it easy to interpret its rythem by separating each different strum in to stanzas. hope you enjoy it, and please, do me the honor of rating my work-i'd be happy to return the favor.* In between your pickup and your punch lines I got lost And you really threw quite a curveball Yeah you really know how to turn a bad girl off When you SPLASH right into it The ghostly images Of a sailor and his mermaid They jumped right in Thought they'd take a swim And forget the platonic foreplay And I consider myself Incredibly brave To have boarded this ship with you To isolate myself And trust that I'd be safe Surrounded by this watery blue Sure, this boat can handle the rough waters It just wasn't built for two. And you know that aching in your chest That greeting cards cry about The one that doesnt even exist The one I constantly lie about It's like a big fat rat Has burrowed Inside of my chest And it's spreading like a hot disease Awaiting its blood test And sometimes when I wake up in the morning my arms Are still asleep And sometimes my heart is beating fast and I'm trembling like a leaf And sometimes you're the first thing on my mind And you're the last thing to go And I guess its stupid to feel this way Stupider to let you know Cos you always tend to say the right thing With the wrong mind And you always seem to disapoint me Every Fucking time. So now you see the boat's sinking here where your logic has brought us to And you've tied the "You're Beautiful's" and "I love you's" To the laces on my boots And you're strapping on everything That we Ever adored But before you can push me I'll just jump over board Cos I hear there's much more thrill In a dive than a fall And I'd rather have fun falling out of this And do it with style But no salt water can abide The salt water coming from my eyes Thats so wet That it's dripping Dripping Dry And I've poked a whole In this little malice filled heart And the pus is draining slowly As we slowly drift apart. And I consider myself Incredibly Dumb To have boarded this ship with you To let you drown me You know, I thought this would be fun Guess it wasn't built for two No it wasn't built for two |
