Cold pizza, tie dye shirts (I don't care)
Broken hearts, give 'em here
Give 'em here (Where you've been)
Hand me downs, gimme gimme
Leftovers, gimme gimme (How many miles)
Sloppy seconds, give 'em here
Give 'em here (I still love you)...~*~
It's not the fault of San Andreas
That you went way over the line
Bone chips stuck out your skin
As you said you were simply fine
Narcotic pain and conversations
Over the rusted telephone booth
And I've got teeth marks on me
When you bit me with the truth
I was just your sloppy seconds
Devouring my entire existence
And when you fed your demons
You no longer needed assistance
I was just the emotional baggage
That you left ticking at the airport
You're contemporary, I'm vintage
So you cut my oxygen tube short
And I was so desperate for shit
I barely felt the knife in my back
I guess salty wasn't your flavour
So you burnt me charred black
I took my low blows with stride
You chewed with mouths open
Wiped your lipstick off the side
Your goodbye was resentment
And it's a damn shame we fell out
The bed was shrinking fast for two
I ended up sleeping on the ground
The lies were clear: it's me or you
But don't you leave me hanging now
I'm starving and I will be playing fair
And I've got enough room for seconds
Even though I know you would never share.
~*~
And there is not a single place
That I would rather be
I'm fucked up just like you are
And you're fucked up just like me...
