First Base
If I was a payphone
You'd use me up and take some
Quarters from my bank
And it wouldn't matter if I tried
My heart dangles on a coiled line
Wrapped around your waist
You want me 'til you're satisfied
I piss you off and pretend to cry
I'm lying to your face
I'm throwing quarters down the kitchen sink now
'Cause I'm something that you never even think about
Hope the drain clogs up when I turn the water on
'Cause I heard what you said to an old friend
In the front yard
How you're halfway in, and you're so sure that
It's my fault
I'm just a friend and, I could pretеnd that
I forgive you in the end, but it's too hard
It's just a slap in thе face
And we're still on first base
If you touch me like you cared to keep
Would I take pills just to fall asleep?
Lonely when I wake
Hanging from your lifeline
I wish you'd wanna hold me in the morning time
So, patiently I pace
And I see you every time I blink
Now your reflection's in the kitchen sink
How could I care so much when you don't care at all?
'Cause I heard what you said to an old friend
In the front yard
How you're halfway in, and you're so sure that
It's my fault
I'm just a friend and I could pretend
That I forgive you in the end, but it's too hard
It's just a slap in the face
We're still on first base
Ooh, I wish I was, I wish
I was with you
Wish I was, I wish I could
See through
Oh, kiss me with the lights on
In your room
I wish I was, I wish I was
How could you say, how could you say
How could you say?
How could you say, how could you say
How could you say?
'Cause I heard what you said to an old friend
In the front yard
How you're halfway in, and you're so sure that
It's my fault
And I could pretend that I forgive
You in the end, but it's too hard
It's just a slap in the face
We're still on first base
You'd use me up and take some
Quarters from my bank
And it wouldn't matter if I tried
My heart dangles on a coiled line
Wrapped around your waist
You want me 'til you're satisfied
I piss you off and pretend to cry
I'm lying to your face
I'm throwing quarters down the kitchen sink now
'Cause I'm something that you never even think about
Hope the drain clogs up when I turn the water on
'Cause I heard what you said to an old friend
In the front yard
How you're halfway in, and you're so sure that
It's my fault
I'm just a friend and, I could pretеnd that
I forgive you in the end, but it's too hard
It's just a slap in thе face
And we're still on first base
If you touch me like you cared to keep
Would I take pills just to fall asleep?
Lonely when I wake
Hanging from your lifeline
I wish you'd wanna hold me in the morning time
So, patiently I pace
And I see you every time I blink
Now your reflection's in the kitchen sink
How could I care so much when you don't care at all?
'Cause I heard what you said to an old friend
In the front yard
How you're halfway in, and you're so sure that
It's my fault
I'm just a friend and I could pretend
That I forgive you in the end, but it's too hard
It's just a slap in the face
We're still on first base
Ooh, I wish I was, I wish
I was with you
Wish I was, I wish I could
See through
Oh, kiss me with the lights on
In your room
I wish I was, I wish I was
How could you say, how could you say
How could you say?
How could you say, how could you say
How could you say?
'Cause I heard what you said to an old friend
In the front yard
How you're halfway in, and you're so sure that
It's my fault
And I could pretend that I forgive
You in the end, but it's too hard
It's just a slap in the face
We're still on first base
