Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't push me out
Just a little longer
Stall your mother
Disregard your father's words
[Verse 2]
Close the laundry door
Tiptoe across the floor
Keep your clothes on
I've got all that I can take
[Verse 3]
Teach me how to use
The love that people say you made
Teach me how to use
The love that people say you made
[Verse 4]
Stop your parents' car
I just saw a shooting star
We can wish upon it
We won't share the wish we made
[Verse 5]
But I can't keep no secrets
I wish that you would always stay
[Verse 6]
Last night I dreamt the whole night long
I woke with a head full of songs
I spent the whole day
I wrote 'em down, but it's a shame
[Verse 7]
Teach me how to use
The love that people say you made (Teach me how to use)
Tonight I'll burn the lyrics
'Cause every chorus was your name
Teach me how to use
The love that people say you made (Teach me how to use)
[Verse 8]
Break this tired old routine (Break this tired old routine)
And this time don't make me leave (And this time don't make me leave)
I am a breathing time machine (I am a breathing time machine)
I'll take you all for a ride (I'll take you all)
[Verse 9]
I am a breathing time machine (I am a breathing time machine)
I'll take you all for a ride (I'll take you all for a ride)
Break this tired old routine (I am a breathing time machine)
And this time don't make me leave (Leave)
