lyrics

I'm don't want to name names
Never mind I did it and I'm real proud of it
But I never did say
A word about those turquoise leggings on the stairs
There's a price on tonight
And I'm going down just like any other good martyr would
If I can keep you to myself without condition there's a mighty fine chance we can make it to the top for some air
I know something's boiling underneath your eyes but I'll take the risk
Just like any other good father would
Just like any other good brother would
And just like any other good lover would

There's a big ol' crack in my pint glass
Dinner's just rotting in the oven
I don't like to clean I dress up mean
I take a ride to the north side
Now there's purple air down in old town
I think we're getting closer to Hollywood
If you hold me right now this bridge could be the grave for the life I'll leave behind
Trust me I've been trying to pull myself away but I can't resist
Just like any other good father would
Just like any other good brother would
And just like any other good lover would

Do you think about me on Saturdays
When fate drags you the other way
I stop and stare I twirl my hair
Get lost in thought get left behind
And when your mom's away do you think about trust
And all that fuss people make about it
If you're looking for a good example of a friend you might as well just step in line
I know something's boiling underneath your eyes but I'll take the risk
And I don't understand the way you say goodbye but I get the gist
If the door is closing you should know that I still throb with happiness
Every time I sing about you to an empty room like this
Just like any other good father would
Just like any other good brother would
And just like any other good lover would
