Vanilla Baby

Remember back when you were 15?
Like the rest of the girls, obsessed with James Dean
You had liquor on your lips and tears in your eyes
all for the sake of a fake man's lies
I was living the life of a cul de sac
I had 18 years strapped to my back
I wanted nothing more than to break the mold
but you broke me first; you were just 15 years old

The next time I saw you, your halo was bent
Your room was filled with dried roses that your lovers had sent
Like the rest of your friends, I was full of shit
Like the rest of the drugs, you were so hard to quit

Vanilla Baby
tequila made you crazy
The love marks you gave me
made you seem
more animal than lady

Now how many days have passed since then?
Well, nobody knows
But the weather in my face surely shows
And I can't remember where I've been since then
but I always knew where you were
I saw your smile on every passing mile, that's for sure
but everything else is just a blur

There's a satellite in orbit
black holes might absorb it
asteroids might break its bones
But your gravity is pulling me
Like the moon pulls the sea
I'll always make it home

Stars fall like rain here
the lovers just disappear
So hold fast to me, Dear
the future is near
and time slips forevermore
as your slip falls to the floor
Sweat slips from every pore
This is what I live for
