And then there was this one night when I took the time
To examine a napkin in a Chicago hotel room
I wasn't alone, it was a night after a show
The space was full, energy was consumed
There was a girl, emphasis on the L, and
She was noticin' the detail as well
And the two of us found something with each other
Previously undiscovered, hell is full of lovers
And the daylight is bright, always makes me squint
But it feels like magic when it touches my face
Suffocate myself, overwhelm myself
And let the sun rays abandon me floatin' through space
And she still wonders why I'm so insecure
She giggles because I sleep with a body pillow
Intentions are never nothing short of pure
But there's a price to pay when you try to live a little
And as attractive as that napkin ever could've been
My how it unfolded, hold it to the wind
Try now to be a rock but she's caught under the skin
Ex-lover and a best friend, just like the rest of them
Then there was this one night
I stopped to watch someone bite the tip of a cigarette
To hold it inbetween her lips
Never met nobody like her
Please brace yourself, danger danger, this might hurt
The playground feels a lot different when the sun's out
She wasn't messin' round she came in with her guns out
Screamin' 'bout the ocean, "Anybody wanna go with me?"
Never knew punk rock could be so pretty, now
Catch your breath and then catch the ball
And sit by the phone so you can catch the call
Writin' catchy one-liners on the bathroom stall
Here I go wouldn't you know, still learnin' to crawl
And she still wonders why I'm so insecure
She giggles because I sleep with a body pillow
Intentions are never nothing short of pure
But there's a price to pay when you try to live a little
I've always dug the way, you love the way your tattoos intimidate men
I guess I'm one of them
Standin' right next to you from way over here
Ex-lover and a best friend (ex-lover and a best friend)
Then there was this one night I noticed a tree
That stood by itself about an hour up north
And I can picture her holding on to the limb
Wearin' a summer dress and a grin, swinging back and forth
Talkin' 'bout the breeze and how easy it is, to
Leave all the worries in the backseat
Teach me please, I need the abilities to live
Silly me, I tried to measure it by what I can give
But she didn't need anything, just a pair of ears
Some strong fingers and someone to share the tears
Bread the fear, feeling it inadequate
Now let's make-believe that I can handle it
And she still wonders why I'm so insecure
She giggles because I sleep with a body pillow
Intentions are never nothing short of pure
But there's a price to pay when you try to live a little
And I still get to talk to you every now and then
Definition of over doesn't have to be the end
It's good to see you grow girl, shake my hand
That's all I want from my ex-lover and my best friend
(That's all I want, so)
I got your back (I got your back, you know I got your back)
Don't ever fuckin' question that
(I got your back, I'll always have your back)
And I still got your back
And she still wonders why I'm so insecure
She giggles because I sleep with a body pillow
Intentions are never nothing short of pure
But there's a price to pay when you try to live a little
And she still wonders why I'm so insecure
She giggles because I sleep with a body pillow
Intentions are never nothing short of pure
But there's a price to pay when you try to live a little
Do you think I could borrow like fifty bucks?
