lyrics

how am I breathing tonight
how am I keeping the pace in my heart
the sensitive part
of the body
that you are
completely degrading?
and, is this how criminals come?
out of the night with bouquets in their arms
and charisma and charm
until all of
their victims are
practically begging?

I don’t think I wanted to dance
but I will remember the name of the song
and I’ll hum along
fighting to withstand the flood of emotion

but, god it is so hard
when they play it in every bar
“oh, pour me a new one,”
I’ll say

oh god what am I gonna do?
scour my skin off to get rid of you?
send out a search team
to every party
that I want to go to?
I just want so badly to scream
how did we get from you flirting with me
for a dance
and a drink
into a nightmare I won’t be forgetting?

I don’t think I wanted to dance
but I will remember the name of the song
and I’ll hum along
fighting to withstand the flood of emotion

and god it is so hard
when they play it in every bar
“oh, pour me a new one,”
I’ll say
