then there was this one night when i took the time to examine a napkin in a chicago hotel room i wasn't alone it was a night after a show space was full energy was consumed there was a girl emphasis on the "L" she was noticin the detail as well and the two of us found something with each other previously undiscovered hell is for the lovers and the daylight is bright always makes me squint but it feels like magic when it touches my face suffocate myself overwhelm myself and let the sunrays abandon me floatin through space *and she still wonders why i'm so insecure she giggles because i sleep with a body pillow intentions are never nothing short of pure but theres a price to pay when you try to live a little* and attractive as that napkin ever could've been my how it unfolded hold it to the wind try now to be a rock but she's caught under the skin ex-lover and a best friend just like the rest of them then there was this one night i stopped to watch someone bite the tip of a cigarette to hold it inbetween her lips never met nobody like her please brace yourself danger danger this might hurt the playground feels a lot different when the sun's out she wasn't messin round she came in with her guns out screamin bout the ocean anybody wanna go with me never knew punk rock could be so pretty now catch your breath and then catch the ball and sit by the phone so you can catch the call write catchy one-liners on the bathroom stall here i go wouldn't you know still learnin to crawl *Chorus* i've always dug the way you love the way your tattoos intimidate men i guess i'm one of them standin right next to you from way over here ex-lover and a best friend (ex-lover and a best friend) then there was this one night i noticed a tree that stood by itself about an hour up north and i can picture her holding onto the limb wearin a summer dress and a grin swingin back and forth talkin bout the breeze and how it easy it is to leave all the worries in the backseat teach me please i need the abilities to live silly me i tried to measure it by what i can give but she didn't need anything just a pair of ears some strong fingers and someone to share the tears read the fear feeling it inadequate now lets make-believe that i can handle it *Chorus* and i still get to talk to you every now and then definition of "over" doesn't have to be the end it's good to see you grow girl shake my hand that's all i want from my ex-lover and my best friend i got your back don't ever f**ing question that i got your back always have i still got your back (in background) *Chorus* 2x
