It took a whole lot of turns before I learned to drive that thing, the keys in the ignition jangled in a steady pace, the first night when the moon was shining straight onto my face, I took a ride and thought of you and wolverines
It took a whole lot of tries before I told the story right, but it helped to watch the night sky through a grubby window screen, cause the first time when you left me I was way too young to see, I thought the words would be enough, for you and me
Now you want us to talk, all night
Now you want me to jump, up and down
But when I asked you to wait, you took a leap and skipped town
Just to show how it’s done, when you handle your misses
Always back for pity kisses
It took a whole lotta of water ’til I found my wishing well, the mocking row of bottles on the bulging pantry shelves, the first night when the owl was hooting like a muffled bell,
I didn’t shake, I didn’t shiver
It took whole lot of memories to shut out the darkest ones, the dreams would set the stage, you missed a line, lights on, retake, the first night when the ringing stopped I jumped into a lake, I kept on jumping , ’til I couldn't stay awake
Now you want us to talk, all right
Now you want me to jump, up and down
But when I asked you to wait, you took a leap and skipped town
Just to show how it’s done, when you handle your misses
Always back for pity kisses
It took a whole lot of toothache to replace the missing piece, the world that kept on turning just grew distant, bleak and vile, the first night when I found that I was actually alive,
I’d lost my speech, but I fired off a smile
Now you want us to talk, all night
Now you want me to jump up and down
But when I asked you to wait, you took a leap and skipped town
Just to show how it’s done, when you handle your misses
Now you want us to talk, all right
Now you want me to jump up and down
But when I asked you to wait, you took a leap and skipped town
Just to show how it’s done, when you handle your misses
Always back for pity kisses, always back for pity kisses,
