There is a boy in a band
who is friends with my ex-boyfriends
high school friend, Christian
A very nice gentleman.
He seems to know me
but I can't remember him
good god forgive me,
I'm out of my element
And I can't seem to them all straight
I've forgotten which people I like
and which people I hate and I'm waiting
for someone to shake me and say:
Hey bitch, your wish is my command.
Just smile and nod we'll under
Standing infront of the sink
I believe I've been tricked
into thinking I'm sick when I'm actually generous.
No use expecting the worst
let the thing run its course
and in time you'll look back thinking
God, how hilarious!
And I can't seem to keep them all straight.
I've forgotten which ones I should skip
and which ones I should take and I'm waiting
for someone to shake me and say:
Hey bitch! Don't quit
You're almost there.
Dont give up now make friends instead
of going out go home instead of going down
go back to bed
There is a man on the phone
Who's convinced I'm alone
And I try to convince the poor guy
that it's way too late.
He seems to like me
but I can't relate I would like to get closer
But Christ all the time it takes.
And I can't seem to keep myself straight
I've forgotten which feelings to show
and which feelings to fake and I'm waiting
for someone to shake me and say:
HEY BITCH! Nice tits!
You're broke but then
you're rich in love.
You're great in bed!
You'll see the world
You'll knock 'em dead.
And all the thick books that you've read
will count for nothing in the end.
