Always Been You

I had pinwheels in my eyes for you
Blinded by the pinks and blues
Oh, you were my wind-up Romeo
We had matching bubblegum tattoos
Serenade me with your kazoo
You tricked me with your ribbons and your bows

It's so shiny in a shopping cart
Pretty in a parking lot
But when you go home
That's when it falls apart

I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store
You sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store

Wine and dine me with your plastic fruit
Robbed me of my sweet tooth
Held me up with a loaded water gun
Tied me to these toy train tracks
You left me there and you never came back
Tacky souvenirs when it's said and done

It's so shiny in a shopping cart
Pretty in a parking lot
But when you go home
That's when it falls apart

I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store
You sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store
You sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store

99 Cent Store

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Just 'cause I bought a band-aid
Doesn't mean I'm able to clean the scars that run
Deeper than all my old demons that I keep under still water
Just 'cause you give me flowers
Doesn't cover up the smell of the dead body
Or raise the dead body of a girl who got shot down before

Just 'cause you crack the window
Doesn't mean I'm able to clear the air
That made it hard to breathe before you came around here
Just 'cause you say you love me
Doesn't mean that I'm gonna look you in the eyes
Pretend to be surprised, and say I love you back
(Love you back)

'Cause I'm trippin', trippin' on rocks
Cuttin' on my ankles, when will the blood stop?
Blue, blue knees
Fallin' for the next man who breathes

I need a band-aid recovery
Don't get too close 'cause you're really nothing to me
You're just a band-aid on my knees (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You're just a band-aid recovery
I'll rip you off when I please
I'll rip you off when I bleed

Just 'cause I'm coming over
Doesn't mean I'll be there when you wake up
'Cause coming over doesn't mean that I'm over him
(Over him, over him)
Just 'cause you are my band-aid
Doesn't mean I want you to stick around
'Cause rebounds get washed away the next time it rains
(The next time it rains)

'Cause I'm trippin', trippin' on rocks
Cuttin' on my ankles, when will the blood stop?
Blue, blue knees
Fallin' for the next man who breathes

I need a band-aid recovery
Don't get too close 'cause you're really nothing to me
You're just a band-aid on my knees (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You're just a band-aid recovery
I'll rip you off when I please
I'll rip you off when I bleed

Band Aid

Am I just a phase that you go through every day?
I don't want us to have an expiration date
Your hand I like to hold more than any guy
You're stuck on the slide while I'm swinging high
I get butterflies when you kiss my cheek
There's something about the way you look at me
I wish that you could reciprocate
But I'm in the waiting game of give and take

Tell me I'm the only one, the one that you adore
On this teeter totter it gets harder swaying back and forth

I know, I know this feels real good
And I guess that I misunderstood
It doesn't really matter what we saw
Up and down your love is like a seesaw
I thought, I thought this was deeper
But your love for me is a fever
Doesn't really matter what we saw
Up and down your love is like a seesaw

Sleeping in your T-shirt every night
Waking up to your skin next to mine
But on the streets you won't hold my hand
How do you expect me to understand?

Tell me I'm the only one, the one that you adore
On this teeter totter it gets harder swaying back and forth

I know, I know this feels real good
And I guess that I misunderstood
Doesn't really matter what we saw
Up and down your love is like a seesaw
I thought, I thought this was deeper
But your love for me is a fever
Doesn't really matter what we saw
Up and down your love is like a seesaw

Ah-ah-ooh-ooh
I know, I know this feels real good
And I guess that I misunderstood
It doesn't really matter what we saw
Up and down your love is like a seesaw
I thought, I thought this was deeper
Your love for me is a fever
Doesn't really matter what we saw
Up and down your love is like a seesaw

I know, I know this feels real good
I guess that I misunderstood
Doesn't really matter what we saw
Up and down your love is like a seesaw
Am I just a phase that you go through every day?

Seesaw

(La-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la)

I just jump rope to forget about you
I just know I shouldn't think about you
Are you jumping for me too?
Are you? Are you? Are you? (La-la-la-la-la)
Miss Mary Mack, Mack, waiting for you to come back
I'll keep my mouth shut and do jumping jacks
With silver buttons on my lips so I don't crack
For you, for you, for you (La-la-la-la-la)

Johnny gave me apples, Johnny gave me gum
Johnny gave me 50 cents to never fall in love
I gave him back his apples, I gave him back his gum
I gave him back his 50 cents and then I fell in love

Jump rope, I'll jump rope for you
Jump rope, I'll jump rope for you 'til you're home
I'll jump rope for you, I'll jump rope for you
Jump, jump, jump rope for you

I just know I shouldn't talk too much
'Cause I'm trying not to scare you off
Can I please just tell the truth
To you? To you? To you? (La-la-la-la-la)
Miss Mary Mack, Mack, waiting for you to come back
I'll keep my mouth shut and do jumping jacks
With silver buttons on my lips so I don't crack
For you, for you, for you (La-la-la-la-la)

Johnny gave me apples, Johnny gave me gum
Johnny gave me 50 cents to never fall in love
I gave him back his apples, I gave him back his gum
I gave him back his 50 cents and then I fell in love

Jump rope, I'll jump rope for you
Jump rope, I'll jump rope for you 'til you're home
I'll jump rope for you, I'll jump rope for you
Jump, jump, jump rope for you

Maybe one day you'll show up and we'll double-dutch
(La-la-la-la-la)
Maybe one day you'll show up and we'll double-dutch
(La-la-la-la-la)

Johnny gave me apples, Johnny gave me gum
Johnny gave me 50 cents to never fall in love
I gave him back his apples, I gave him back his gum
I gave him back his 50 cents and then I fell in love

Jump rope, I'll jump rope for you
Jump rope, I'll jump rope for you 'til you're home
I'll jump rope for you, I'll jump rope for you
Jump, jump, jump rope for you
Jump rope, I'll jump rope for you
Jump rope, I'll jump rope for you 'til you're home
I'll jump rope for you, I'll jump rope for you
Jump, jump, jump rope for you

Jumprope

I could pull the sheets over my head
And never get out of this bed
But what would that do?
I avoid all mirrors
'Cause I'm scared to look into my eyes
When I only see you

It's like you're always creeping
On the walls and in my feelings
All those stories about ghosts are really true

I put one foot
In front of the other
In front of the other
Slowly, I turn every corner
Turn every corner
Even when you're nowhere in the room
I'm haunted by you

I light all my candles
Light all my candles
The darkness is too hard to handle
Too hard to handle
Sleeping is just something I can't do
I'm haunted by you

I can hear you talking in the distance
Your persistence is so cruel
And all your words pull at my feet
And I fall back in love with you
What can I do?

It's like you're always creeping
On the walls and in my feelings
All those stories about ghosts are really true

I put one foot
In front of the other
In front of the other
Slowly, I turn every corner
Turn every corner
Even when you're nowhere in the room
I'm haunted by you

I light all my candles
Light all my candles
The darkness is too hard to handle
Too hard to handle
Sleeping is just something I can't do

We used to be so warm
But now we're just an ice storm
Slowly freezing up my heart
We used to be so warm
But now we're just an ice storm
Slowly freezing up my heart, heart, heart

I put one foot
In front of the other
In front of the other
Slowly, I turn every corner
Turn every corner
Even when you're nowhere in the room
I'm haunted by you

I light all my candles
Light all my candles
The darkness is too hard to handle
Too hard to handle
Sleeping is just something I can't do
I'm haunted by you

Bombs On Monday

Come Back Home

Come Back Home (From "Purple Hearts")

She had been taken away from her family
Away from the only place that she had felt safe in
Away from the ones she loved
Inside a basement, he watches her moves and her pacing
She tries to find a door to escape him
But she can't find any doors

Who cares if she don't look like you?
Karma will come back to eat you
Why does she have to be white to
Be seen as a fucking equal?

You erase her
The radio, news and thе paper
You say, you say "Maybe later"
Wеll, later's too late
Go fucking save her

Erase her, erase her

She hears him walking
She's praying the police come knocking
Assuming that they're all already plotting
To save her from dying young

Put her on the television
Don't let all these girls stay missing
Stop picking your favorite faces
This ain't no casting submission

You erase her
The radio, news and the paper
You say, you say "Maybe later"
Well, later's too late
Go fucking save her

She's crying, I wish I could pull her out of the man's house
But I'm just me, I'm no police
I'm not qualified to go searching
But I would be if I were in your shoes

But you erase her
The radio, news and the paper
You say, you say "Maybe later"
Well, later's too late
Go fucking save her
You erase her
The radio, news and the paper
You say, you say "Maybe later"
Well, later's too late
Go fucking save her

Erase her, erase her
Erase her, erase her

Erase Her
