Maria Sanchez

Shut up, count your calories
          I never looked good in mom jeans
          Wish I was like you
          Blue-eyed blondie, perfect body
          Maybe I should try harder
          You should lower your expectations
          I'm no quick-curl barbie
          I was never cut out for prom queen
          If I get more pretty
          Do you think he will like me?
          Dissect my insecurities
          I'm a defect, surgical project
          It's getting hard to breathe
          There's plastic wrap in my cheeks
          Maybe I should try harder
          You should lower your beauty standards
          I'm no quick-curl barbie
          I was never cut out for prom queen
          If I'm pretty, will you like me?
          They say, "Beauty makes boys happy"
          I've been starving myself
          Carving skin until my bones are showing
          Teach me how to be okay
          I don't wanna downplay my emotions
          They say, "Beauty is vain
          You'll only be happy if you look a certain way"
          I wanna be okay
          I wanna be okay

Smoking cigarettes on the roof
          You look so pretty and I love this view
          We fell in love in October
          That's why, I love fall
          Looking at the stars
          Admiring from afar
          My girl, my girl, my girl
          You will be my girl
          My girl, my girl, my girl
          You will be my world
          My world, my world, my world
          You will be my girl
          Smoking cigarettes on the roof
          You look so pretty and I love this view
          Don't bother looking down
          We're not going that way
          At least I know, I am here to say
          We fell in love in October
          That's why, I love fall
          Looking at the stars
          Admiring from afar
          (My girl, my girl, my girl)
          My girl, my girl, my girl
          You will be my girl
          My girl, my girl, my girl
          You will be my girl
          My girl, my girl, my girl
          You will be my girl
          My girl, my girl, my girl
          You will be my world
          My world, my world, my world
          You will be my girl

I want you
          I hold one card
          That I can't use
          But I want you
          You're coming back
          And it's the end of the world
          We're starting over and I love you darlin'
          And I am done, dear
          You're in the house
          And I am here in the car
          I just need a quiet place
          Where I can scream how I love you
          I found you
          I found the door
          But when I stepped through
          There was no floor
          You're coming back
          And it's the end of the world
          We're starting over and I love you darlin'
          And I am done, dear
          You're in the house
          And I am here in the car
          I just need a quiet place
          Where I can scream how I love you
          I want you
          I want you

I'm trying to hold my breath
          Let it stay this way
          Can't let this moment end
          You set off a dream in me
          Getting louder now
          Can you hear it echoing?
          Take my hand
          Will you share this with me?
          'Cause darling, without you
          All the shine of a thousand spotlights
          All the stars we steal from the night sky
          Will never be enough
          Never be enough
          Towers of gold are still too little
          These hands could hold the world but it'll
          Never be enough
          Never be enough
          For me
          Never, never
          Never, never
          Never, for me
          For me
          Never enough
          Never enough
          Never enough
          For me
          For me
          For me
          All the shine of a thousand spotlights
          All the stars we steal from the night sky
          Will never be enough
          Never be enough
          Towers of gold are still too little
          These hands could hold the world but it'll
          Never be enough
          Never be enough
          For me
          Never, never
          Never, never
          Never, for me
          For me
          Never enough
          Never, never
          Never enough
          Never, never
          Never enough
          For me
          For me
          For me
          For me

My feet are aching
          And your back is pretty tired
          And we've drunk a couple bottles, babe
          And set our grief aside
          The papers say it's doomsday
          The button has been pressed
          We're gonna nuke each other up, boys
          'Til old Satan stands impressed
          And here it is, our final night alive
          And as the earth burns to the ground
          Oh, girl, it's you that I lie with
          As the atom bomb locks in
          Oh, it's you I watch TV with
          As the world, as the world caves in
          You put your final suit on
          I paint my fingernails
          Oh, we're going out in style, babe
          And everything's on sale
          We creep up on extinction
          I pull your arms right in
          I weep and say, "Goodnight, love"
          While my organs pack it in
          And here it is, our final night alive
          And as the earth burns to the ground
          Oh, girl, it's you that I lie with
          As the atom bomb locks in
          Oh, it's you I watch TV with
          As the world, as the world caves
          Oh, it's you that I lie with
          As the atom bomb locks in
          Yes, it's you I welcome death with
          As the world, as the world caves in
          As the world caves in

If I could begin to be
          Half of what you think of me
          I could do about anything
          I could even learn how to love
          When I see the way you act
          Wondering when I'm coming back
          I could do about anything
          I could even learn how to love like you
          I always thought I might be bad
          Now I'm sure that it's true
          'Cause I think you're so good
          And I'm nothing like you
          Look at you go
          I just adore you
          I wish that I knew
          What makes you think I'm so special
          If I could begin to do
          Something that does right by you
          I would do about anything
          I would even learn how to love
          When I see the way you look
          Shaken by how long it took
          I could do about anything
          I could even learn how to love like you
          Love like you
          Love me like you

My God, I'm so lonely
          So I open the window
          To hear sounds of people
          To hear sounds of people
          Venus, planet of love
          Was destroyed by global warming
          Did its people want too much, too?
          Did its people want too much?
          And I don't want your pity
          I just want somebody near me
          Guess I'm a coward
          I just want to feel alright
          And I know no one will save me
          I just need someone to kiss
          Give me one good honest kiss
          And I'll be alright
          Nobody, nobody, nobody
          Nobody, nobody
          Ooh, nobody, nobody, nobody
          I've been big and small
          And big and small
          And big and small again
          And still nobody wants me
          Still nobody wants me
          And I know no one will save me
          I'm just asking for a kiss
          Give me one good movie kiss
          And I'll be alright
          Nobody, nobody, nobody
          Nobody, nobody
          Ooh, nobody, nobody
          Nobody, nobody, nobody
          Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
          Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
          Nobody, nobody, nobody (nobody)
          (Nobody, nobody)
          Nobody, nobody
          Nobody, nobody, no

The beach is a good place to pick up girls
          Because you can really see what you're getting
          Most beaches are- of chicks
          And they're- and they're- and they're- and they're- and they're
          And they're- and they're- and they're
          Huh, hmm, hmm
          I've been moving in backward directions
          During astral projections
          I plaster my ass on the wall for attention
          I need faster connections
          Past is regret, I'd flash from the gemses
          If I didn't care what my friends did
          Friends that pretend, wanna end when you get bit
          Get slick, get quick, wanna spend shit
          Ends with a sniff or a huff or injection
          I can't handle rejection
          Can't stand my reflection, damn, no one gets it
          Should I be kind or remind that I'm weak?
          So I fall more behind every week
          I'm the 'shine once guys take a peek
          I cry from my eyes to my feet
          Stairs to the streets, to the gutters, to the sea
          When I mutter in my sleep
          I say, "Mother never weep, " my brother finds blood
          I say, "Shut up 'fore she sees, " another motherfuckin' trap
          Won-wonder will she weep, won-wonder where she be
          Thunder on my teeth, spittin' natural disasters
          God told me, "Cat, don't mess with the past tense
          You're testin' the masters"
          So guess what the fact is? My ex is a bachelor
          Next, gonna get big checks from the sets
          Next, from the dancers
          sex from the models this Hennessy is cursed
          Someone hexed all the bottles (hexed all the bottles)
          I swear on my life, I always try
          But in my eyes, I can fly
          Sigh
          Better luck next time
          Be-be-better luck next time
          Better luck next time
          Be-be-be-be-better luck next time
          Better luck next time
          Be-be-be-be-better luck next time
          Better luck next time
          Be-be-be-be-better luck next time
          Better luck next time
          Be-, be-
          Be-, be-
          Be-, be-
          Be-

Oh, I think you're standing on my left foot
          It's hurting, but that's okay
          'Cause I'm in your way
          You'll break that foot that you're standing on
          I'll walk with the other one
          Do what you want to, do what you want to
          Be what you want to, be what you want to
          Go on and step on me
          You're free to have everything you can see
          All that you want from me
          Free to be all that you want to be
          Do what you want with me
          Oh, I think you're spinning inside my head
          I think of you all the day
          'Cause you're in my way
          Oh, I think you're holding the heart of mine (my heart is yours)
          Squeeze it apart, that's fine
          Do what you want to, do what you want to
          Be what you want to, be what you want to
          Go on and step on me
          You're free to have everything you can see
          All that you want from me
          Do what you want to, do what you want to
          Be what you want to, be what you want to
          Go on and step on me
          You're free to have everything you can see
          All that you want from me
          You're free to be all that you want to be
          Do what you want with me
          Go on and step on me
          Go on and step on me
          Go on and step on me

I steal a few breaths
          From the world for a minute
          And then I'll be nothing forever
          And all of my memories
          And all of the things I have seen
          Will be gone
          With my eyes with my body with me
          But me and my husband
          We're doing better
          It's always been just him and me, together
          So I bet all I have on that
          Furrowed brow
          And at least in this lifetime
          We're sticking together
          Me and my husband
          We're sticking together
          And I am the idiot with the painted face
          In the corner, taking up space
          But when he walks in, I am loved, I am loved
          Me and my husband
          We're doing better
          It's always been just him and me, together
          So I bet all I have on that
          Furrowed brow
          And at least in this lifetime
          We're sticking together
          Me and my husband
          We're sticking together
          Me and my husband
          We're doing better
