lyrics

This is my final cigarette You always said we all need at least one thing to regret And as I draw my final smoky breath It is the closest that I'll ever be to controlling death And please believe That I'm just finishing the pack I'm never going back Though I know that I got four more to go Yes I know that I got four more to go I been chewing gum, trying caffeine Can't sleep when I'm alone, but I hate the party scene I'm not quite there, I'm in between This is the last one and tomorrow I'll be clean And please believe That I'm just finishing the pack I'm never going back Though I know that I got four more to go Yes I know that I got four more to go And please believe That I'm just finishing the pack I'm never going back Though I know that I got four more to go Yes I know that I got four more to go

She just want to close her eyes and sway If you, if you, if you exercise your right to work it out Its true, its true, its true, shout out to the birthday girls say hey Say hey, everyone deserves a night to play And shes plays only when you tell her no If these walls could talk I can feel your reign when it cries gold lives inside of you If these walls could talk I love it when I’m in it, I love it when I’m in it

I know That it's taken me all this time to say girl I'm slow So it's taken me all this time to say girl Tip toe And I want to acknowledge my mistake girl Uh Oh And I hope that you know it's not too late Put it in my pocket, put it in my pocket In my back pocket Put it in my pocket, in my pocket In my back pocket O O O And I'll Put it in my pocket, put it in my pocket In my back pocket Put it in my pocket, in my pocket In my back pocket And I'll read when I'm alone Do you like me circle yes or no On this piece of paper 'Cause I really really need to know Are you gonna be my 5th grade queen Hand it back after the second hour Then I'll know if you're gonna be my special flower Ooo girl 'cause I need to know I will Put it in my pocket, put it in my pocket In my back pocket Put it in my pocket, in my pocket In my back pocket O O O And I'll Put it in my pocket, put it in my pocket In my back pocket Put it in my pocket, in my pocket In my back pocket And I'll read it when I'm alone When you kissed me on the playground I lost my breath I had to lay down And assess what I had seen Then I had to write the words out 'Cause you took 'em out of my mouth But it's hard for me to read Out loud Oh gee Oh gosh I know That it's taken me all this time to say girl I'm slow So it's taken me all this time to say girl Tip toe And I want to acknowledge my mistake girl Uh Oh And I hope that you know it's not too late girl

How could I ignore you? Trust me I adore you We're swimming through our dreams Kiss me in the shower For a couple hours Though we're only sixteen And sit down beside me Don't call me daddy Cause that's just fucking weird Promise that you'll stay here You and I can lay here Until the end of time But girl, well don't you worry about me It ain't new to me, feeling this lonely (darling) Girl, don't worry about me But if you're ever unhappy Then maybe, baby, I must let you go Let you go Baby now it's best here, to lay me down and rest here Let's dream of Corduroy Work for what you love to do and I will watch right over you With your heart I'll never toy And you're the other half of me Drink and sleep and laugh with me Take me from myself See I'm a fucking basket-case Until I'm able to see your face You saved me from myself But girl, don't worry about me Cause it ain't new to me, feeling this lonely Darling baby, girl, don't worry about me Cause if you're ever unhappy, if you're ever unhappy If you're ever, ever unhappy Then maybe, maybe baby I must let you go

about

Moving to a different country, I've developed a strange sense of cultural resonance with this music. Some was imparted to me by my new musical community, the rest I have discovered all by myself.
