West Seattle

I know the side of the road too well
I was one with the curb
When I was under her spell
I lost my taste on the road somewhere
I saw it myself
When my body was there
I know that touch isn't always fair, but I let her get close
And she plays with my hair
She takes off my clothes
To let everyone stare
Cus she wants it the most
When she knows that I'm scared

I won't be telling my secrets again 'till I'm dead
I won't be looking too deep
In the eyes of my friends
I won't say hi to my neighbors
I don't wanna offend
And I'm never going to West Seattle again

Little compliment, big mistake
But I wish that I wanted
Her hands on my waist
Eyes glued to the road some place
Cus I don't wanna deal with
The look on her face
The door is heavy
And my hands are light
And the bus that I take
Is always crowded at night
And the bridge starts to crack
Under everyone's eyes
And the bed where she sleeps
Is where subtlety dies

I won't be telling my secrets again till I'm dead
I won't be looking too deep
In the eyes of my friends
I won't say hi to my neighbors
I don't wanna offend
And I'm never going to West Seattle again

What do I say to my mom this time?
I could've sworn I drew the line
Perfect partner pantomime, but
What's a body without a mind?

Weak will, ink spill
I let my skin down again
Knock knees, yes please
They all hear what they want to
In the end

And what do I say to my mom this time?
I could've sworn I drew the line
Perfect partner pantomime
But what's a body without a mind?

I won't be telling my secrets again till I'm dead
I won't be looking too deep
In the eyes of my friends
I won't say hi to my neighbors
I don't wanna offend
And I'm never going
To West Seattle again
