Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like all the boys before
Like all the boys, boys, boys, boys
Like all the boys before
Like all the boys, boys, boys, boys
[Verse 2]
You left a blood stain on the floor
You set your sights on him
You left a hand print on the door
Like all the boys before
Like all the boys before
[Verse 3]
This is our luck, baby, runnin' out
Our clothes were never off
We still have our roads to run about
Scale the map, to scale the map
To get us back on track
[Verse 4]
I've seen you in a fight, you lost
I've seen you in a figh'
[Verse 5]
We're under the sheets and you're killin' me
In our house made of paper
Your words all over me
We're under the sheets and you're killin' me
[Verse 6]
Like all the boys before
Like all the boys, boys, boys, boys
Like all the boys before
Like all the boys, boys, boys, boys
[Verse 7]
In here the world won't bring us down
Our plan is gold dust
Out there a lonely girl could drown
In here we're frozen
Where did the people go?
My hands are empty
You're not the answer, I should know
Like all the boys before
Like all the boys before
[Verse 8]
We're under the sheets and you're killin' me
In our house made of paper
Your words all over me
We're under the sheets and you're killin' me
[Verse 9]
We're in a mess, babe, we're in a mess, babe
Your more is less, babe, oh
We're in a mess, babe, we're in a mess, babe
Your more is less, babe, oh, oh
[Verse 10]
We're under the sheets and you're killin' me
In our house made of paper
Your words all over me
We're under the sheets and you're killin' me (I've seen you in a fight, you lost)
Like all the boys before
Like all the boys before
[Verse 11]
We're under the sheets and you're killin' me
In our house made of paper
Your words all over me
We're under the sheets and you're killin' me (Oh, you're killin' me)
[Verse 12]
You're killing me
We're under the sheets and you're killin' me
In our house made of paper
Your words all over me
We're under the sheets and you're killin' me
Killin' me, killin' me, killin' me
Killin' me, killin' me, killin' me
