you broke my heart on the 4th of july
you declared independence like that washington guy
when i looked up there was no stars in the sky
just a mortar in my heart blowing up my insides
but I’m too sad to pick a fight
i aint no scream and shouter alright
these aren’t tears emanating from my eyes
its irritation from all the gunpowder tonight
you broke my heart on independence day
i cried into your teacup so you tossed it in the lake
you took your leave but your redcoat stayed
and curled up on the floor with me it now lays
but I’m too sad to pick a fight
i aint no scream and shouter alright
these aren’t tears emanating from my eyes
its irritation from all the gunpowder tonight
you broke my heart in rhode island
i know hanging out with me wasn't too much fun
and i clung to you and my wig looked dumb
so now i hide like a dog cuz every firework is a shot from a gun
you broke my heart on the 4th of the month
now I’m looking my selfie camera and starting to get a hunch
I’m just here to write a pop song
I’m just here to wait until I’m dead
I’m so scared of dying these days
I’m so scared to look outside my head
I’m so hot i’m fucking fire
Everyone just wants to see me nude
I’m a fraud in a monkey costume
I don’t know who I’m trying to delude
Take me away
A secret place
Natasha sue me
cuz im stuck in the middle
and I’m in need of something pure to stay
Smoking makes me feel sick cuz Im
not sure if i want to hurt myself
I’m bored of connecting with others
but i need my ego stroked like hell
Take me away
A secret place
Natasha sue me
cuz im stuck in limbo
and I’m in need of something new to stay
may be i am in the best shape i can be in
i wouldn’t know, i can’t see past my shadow
Take me away
A secret place
Natasha sue me
cuz im stuck in the middle
and I’m in need of something safe to stay
i wanna tell you that you’re cute
i asked for your number at school
you were reading some spark notes hegel
i was eating an uncooked bagel
i feel dumb when I’m around you
i talk about you with my friends too
i feel dumb when I’m around you
i talk about you with my friends too
you sent me a meme i’d not seen before
that almost never happens anymore
you’re so quick and into net art
i asked you to go on a date to pet smart
i bought a cat but I’m allergic
i want it all for u cuz u deserve it
i bought a cat but I’m allergic
i want it all for u cuz u deserve it
I’m textin you in the bathtub
bubbles and nokia and soap suds
I’m feelin like run dmc
im sending you cool WYD
modern love is referential
confusion is exponential
modern love is referential
my confusion is exponential
blah blah blah dot dot dot
blue white blue bubbles pop pop pop
bath time bad rhyme fuck this shit fuck
i said i said i said I’ve had enough
i send a lot of texts but i mean some
you’re the kind of girl that i dream of
i send a lot of texts but i mean some
you’re the kind of girl that i dream of
as a kid my teeth fought my tongue
and my lisp was bullying my lungs
i thought i grew up and learned to say
"I'm certainly sure my speech will stay this way”
since we crossed paths i write in curlicues
i wanna tell you bad but my words are curly too
that you’re a thuper thuper thuper thweet person
and I’ve never had a thought of desertion
that you’re a thuper thuper thuper thweet person
and I’ve never had a thought of desertion
i can't make any sense
to anyone except for you my darling
pig latin and sweet nothings
we talk through tin cans on a string
I’m hot and bothered like i have malaria
and it’s affecting my wernicke’s area
oh you’re a thuper thuper thuper thweet person
and you’re the only one that is deserving
oh you’re a thuper thuper thuper thweet person
and you’re the only one that is deserving
of my heart
of my heart
i don’t know where to start
of my heart
of my heart
and since we’ve been apart
you're just a super super super sweet person
i think of you now though our paths are diverging
you're just a super super super sweet person
i think of you now though our paths are diverging
you put me on edge
when you put that in your jacket
you spit on capitalism
the fun’s in taking not in having
and it tastes so much better
with a 5 finger discount
you put your hand through my hair
and swiped a kiss from my mouth
you were eyein something shiny
lookin at the security guard
you’re a kleptomaniac girl
but i think you stole my heart
like candy from a baby
what kind of girl steals from kids
in the middle of a safeway
u just couldn’t resist
put me in your pocket
let’s lead a life of crime
ill be whatever looks good in the moment
whatever twinkles in your eyes
you we’re eyein something shiny
watchin the security guard
you’re a kleptomaniac girl
but i think you stole my heart
steal me away
love me today
steal me away
love me today
steal me away
love me today
steal me away
love me today
steal me away
love me today cmon
you we’re eyein something shiny
watchin the security guard
you’re a kleptomaniac girl
but i think you stole my heart
im feelin slutty in the backseat of your car
on the way back to the party from another divey bar
you tell me to shut up and wipe the snot from my nose
i trace your calves with my toes
you’re talking to your friends oh tell em I’m a bad fuck
and you wash down your pills with a couple bucks worth
of cheap alcohol and some sad old limes
your skin is all bags and your eyes are like dimes
i can’t ever hide from u
even though I’m feeling kinda blue
I’m just waiting for the toilets
and you’re my thin white duke
heres my opening line
wanna do a few?
she staring right at johnny
johnny’s staring at the wall
ari asks me for her number
but she won’t return his calls
now he don’t even try to leave the house at night
i think he’s doing something right
i can’t ever hide from u
even though I’m feeling kinda blue
I’m your pining little groupie
and you’re my thin white duke
heres my opening line
wanna do a few?
in my dreams you’re in love with me
you call me sugar tits and i call you daddy
my fantasy ain’t too pretty
but its all my wretched brain can hope for without bleeding
i can’t ever hide from u
even though I’m feeling kinda blue
I’m your pining little groupie
and you’re my thin white duke
heres my opening line
wanna do a few?
I’m starting to like you you show me cool rock bands like christian death
you seem a lot like me and I’m a full blown narcissist
but theres an expiration date and its lurking
whatever’s drawing out my storyboards is smirking
are there too many hours
in the day or not enough
i like it when the bad things end
but let me keep a good one, just one, just
i don’t like seeing my friends far away from their lover’s beds
i don’t wanna sleep till i die but i wanna live and forget
with you i don't worry about that your heart and thoughts
are so big they take up my whole world—for a second
are there too many hours in the day
or are there not enough
i like it when the bad things end
but let me keep a good one, just one, just
are there too many hours in the day
or are there not enough
i like it when the bad things end
but let me keep a good one, just one, just
