oh, pretty girl
you turned it on, you turned it out, it all felt off
that’s how it is, that’s how it was
you searched it all so well, underwater in a bell
you smeared on coral lips while checking off a checked off list
----------------pre chorus--------------------
situations never kind, feathering a dance-hall stride
you’re playing with the craziest locomotive
you broke your fingers in the climb
scuffed up all your pretty shine
you’ve got your air so thin
I think you blew it, did I blow it?
you fell into it
---------------chorus-------------------------
now it’s all bad education
feeling fine, I’m feeling patient
girls and boys and full frustration
st. valentine, I think I taste it
tugging at the seatbelt
I’m jumping out the saddle
I’m shuffling my feet around
I’m kneeling at the steeple
when will my heart teeter, tatter?
I’m a believer, I’m solid matter

Eyou tried so hard, boy, you better make it
DmI think I’ll take it, oh, should I take it?
Amoh, pretty girl, I don’t think you can take it
