Softie

I guess I could've told you
You were the reason why
I ran off to the bathroom
And locked myself inside
I try to fix my makeup
In the dirty mirror
It's just what I'm afraid of
It's clear as day

I try to be the tough guy
In thick-soled leather boots
You're getting high and watching
Jimmy Neutron in my dorm room
Thought I could play it cool
I almost died from coughing
I guess I wasn't fooling
Anybody anyway

Would it make a difference
If I asked you nicely
Or read you the lines
Of a Hallmark card
It's not a big deal
It's just how I feel
Left alone at the bar

Lay out the picnic blanket
Next to the singer's grave
We'll eat baguettes, pay our respects
And make some daisy chains
Try not to hold my breath
Try not to rip wide open
Let go for a moment
And your bird will get away

Would it make a difference
If I asked you nicely
Or dotted the i's
In your name with hearts
It's not a big deal
It's just how I feel
Walking home in the dark

I'm a champagne bottle
(I saved)
I'm about to explode
(Yesterday's)
I'm a baking soda
(Champagne)
Vinegar volcano
(For you)
I've got a thin skin
(Just friends)
I'm an egg in a parachute
(I pretend)
I'm a science experiment
(Again)
Some kid dropped off the roof
(For you)

And I'm just a softie
I'm just a softie
I'm just a softie
I'm just a softie
I'm just a softie
I'm just a softie
