Lyrics
tall order
to be the one who saved a lonely heart from slaughter
no quarter
you sure do know a good time and i’m your fodder
we lock fingers on the bus
laugh loud, all brimming with charm
and i’m powerless, well how could i resist
getting tripped up and falling back into your arms?
you get me caffeinated, you are the sweet stuff
solid grains of sugar at the bottom of the teacup
so get me acclimated to the speed bumps
laser lines and trip wires, tricks that make you feel tough
tall order
to be the one that saves a puppy from a kill shelter
thin border
was i a passion flame or just an ice cube melter?
when i write you
i can’t afford the stamp so it’s returned to sender
and my kisses
could never be exchanged for legal lovin’ tender
whatever’s happening? i woke up laughing
i dreamt you picked someone with my own name
i felt so stupid, i was not lucid
i thought i’d grown beyond the jealous game
whatever’s happening? i woke up laughing
i dreamt i drove a hundred miles to find
no destination, i was not patient
i realized we’re two of a different kind
you get me caffeinated, you are the sweet stuff
solid grains of sugar at the bottom of the teacup
so get me acclimated to the speed bumps
laser lines and trip wires, tricks that make you feel tough
