And your first kiss makes your head spin 'round
But in your life you'll do things greater
Than dating the boy on the football team
But I didn't know it at fifteen

And your first kiss makes your head spin 'round
But in your life you'll do things greater
Than dating the boy on the football team
But I didn't know it at fifteen
And all my walls stood tall painted blue
And I'll take them down
Take them down and open up the door for you
Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him
Wondered how many girls he had loved
And left haunted
But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom
Holdin' him for ransom
And I
I wait by the door like I'm just a kid
Use my best colors for your portrait
Lay the table with the fancy shit
And watch you tolerate it
Wise men once said,
'One bad seed kills the garden'
'One less temptress
One less dagger to sharpen'
Locked me up in towers
But I'd visit in your dreams
And they tried to warn you about me
'Cause there were pages turned
With the bridges burned
Everything you lose is a step you take
So make the friendship bracelets
Take the moment and taste it
You've got no reason to be afraid
A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knee
Back when we were card sharks, playing games
I thought you were leading me on
I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street
Before you even knew I was gone
Could it be enough to just float in your orbit?
Can we watch our phantoms
Like watching wild horses?
Cooler in theory
But not if you force it to be
It just didn't happen
'Cause there we are again
When I loved you so
Back before you lost
The one real thing you've ever known
It was rare, I was there
I remember it all too well
And we walked down the block to my car
And I almost brought him up
But you start to talk about the movies
That your family watches every single Christmas
And I want to talk about that
And for the first time what's past is past
Dear reader, bend when you can
Snap when you have to
Dear reader, you don't have to answer
Just 'cause they asked you
(You should find another)
Dear reader, the greatest of luxuries is your secrets
Dear reader, when you aim at the devil
Make sure you don't miss
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't
Say I didn't warn ya
I said remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild
'Cause there we are again
On that little town street
You almost ran the red
'Cause you were lookin' over at me
Wind in my hair, I was there
I remember it all too well
When I left school, I lost track of you
Abigail called me with the bad news
Goodbye, and we'll never know why
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate
(Oh)
And I scream, 'For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?'
He looks up, grinning like a devil
Break my soul in two
Looking for you but you're right here
If I can't relate to you anymore
Then who am I related to?
And if this is the long haul
How'd we get here so soon?
Did I close my fist around something delicate?
Did I shatter you?
You see all the wisest women had to do it this way
'Cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover's game
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
And the liquor in our cocktails
Fond gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play
A song that sounds like a death march
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited
By your lovely bride-to-be
You see all the wisest women had to do it this way
'Cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover's game
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
And the liquor in our cocktails
'Cause there we are again
In the middle of the night
We're dancing 'round the kitchen
In the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, I was there
I remember it all too well
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?
And I fell from the pedestal
Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Clung to the nearest lips
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
Now I'm all about you
I'm all about you
And I just think you should, think you should know
That nothing safe is worth the drive
And I would follow you, follow you home
I'll follow you, follow you home
Remember when we couldn't take the heat
I walked out and said,
'I'm settin' you free,'
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
When the sun came up
You were lookin' at me
I was tame, I was gentle
Till the circus life made me mean
Don't you worry, folks
We took out all her teeth
Who's afraid of little old me?
Well, you should be, you should be, you should be
Wind in my hair, you were there
You remember it all
Down the stairs, you were there
You remember it all
It was rare, I was there
I remember it all too well
I blew things out of proportion
Now you're blue
Put you in jail for something you didn't do
I pinned your hands behind your back, oh
Thought I had reason to attack, but no
We're all bored
We're all so tired of everything
We wait for trains that just aren't coming
We show off our different scarlet letters
Trust me, mine is better
