Granpaw Would

From such a tender age
I let you in
To mess with my insides
I don't regret a thing

And i don't care if you're confused
Please hold my hand
Grip the railing
I still don't understand

Twenty metres above the ground, took off my disguise
I never thought of kissing you is that such a surprise
I think you've heard my song before
Won't make you hear it again

Don't wanna hear about your girl
Got my own best friend
And if you wanna hear a tune we'll grab a bite
Take your quotation marks away
I got my pride
I got my pride

I ate my mushroom goop
You were laid-back
We tried to reinvent ourselves
We're getting off the track

And i don't care if you're confused
Please hold my hand
Grip the railing
I still don't understand
I think you've heard my song before
Won't make you hear it again

Don't wanna hear about your girl
I've got my friend
And if you wanna hear a tune we'll grab a bite
Take your quotation marks away

I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride
I got my pride

Shoulda seen that girl on the radio
Made me think of the time
I tried to rhyme
And failed miserably that time
On the radio
Passed the time

Shoulda seen me trying to talk to you
So you'd think i was cool
But i'm not
And i guess you found that out
On the radio
Passed the time

Said i'd tell you everything
Or every but that one thing
I tried to weasel my way out
You shouldn't have found out that way
I shoulda sat you down and explained
I thought that there would be no way
You'd find out on the radio

Shoulda seen me sink not swim
Made me think of a rat
That's trying to climb
Even though it know it's doomed
On the radio
Passed the time

Shoulda heard me - what a fool
Made me think of the time
I tried to rhyme
And failed miserably that time
On the radio
Passed the time

Said i'd tell you everything
Or every but that one thing
I tried to weasel my way out
You shouldn't have found out that way
I shoulda sat you down and explained
I thought that there would be no way
You'd find out on the radio

You know you never change your ways
And i don't mean the way you brush your hair
You know you never change your ways
And i don't mean the clothes you wear

And i don't want you to lose your inhibitions
Just be a bit more flexible
By dictionary definition
Be a bit more ductile like me

You know you never change your ways
And i don't mean the life you lead
You know you never change your ways
And i don't know what you need

And i don't want you to lose your inhibitions
Just be a bit more flexible
By dictionary definition
Be a bit more ductile like me

I'm hoping you'll be
A bit more ductile like me
I'm hoping you'll be
A bit more ductile like me
Here's hoping you'll be
A bit more ductile like me

I pretend i'm mellow
So you don't think i'm hurt
I'm just a real sad fellow
Pretends he's so down to earth

And i might get a kiss
If i play my cards right
Don't care if i've missed
The whole goddamn point
Just pull myself together in the way
That you'd want me to

You're so mellow
You can't see i'm in pain
My knees turn to jello
And my eyes start to rain

And i might not get dissed
If i play my cards right
Don't care if i've missed
The whole goddamn point
Try to be nice in the way
That you'd want me to

And i wear my shirt like i'm not affected
I'll eat my lunch like i still haven't checked yet
I'll try to be cool and if that doesn't work at all
I'll try to sprawl

Well you're real pretty
And you act like a cross between you know what i mean
It's a real pity
Cause you try to be mean, but you just can't fake it with me
You love the pixies
You're the ultimate pop queen you know what i mean
Yeah my girl is a true dream
And i'm not gonna hate you if you're not gonna hate me

You're my pop queen

Well, you're not that lazy
And you know how to act when you're with the upper class
My dreams of you are hazy
As we lie on the grass and we talk about daydreams
You're so unconceited
Yeah you couldn't be slack if i paid you the shirt off my back

You're my pop queen

Well i know it's real uncool to say
You don't need an amp to blow me away
Don't need to turn up, plug in, or go very far
Just strum a chord on my guitar

Well my guitar is love
And my guitar's all i need
And my guitar's so special
Cause it plays the songs - not me

Well i can take my guitar to the beach
And strum out a pop masterpiece
I work out my favourite songs
I can do it myself or play along

Well my guitar is love
And my guitar's all i need
And my guitar's so special
Cause it plays the songs - not me

And i don't know what would happen
If i lost my guitar
I'd never find another one
Like the last one i adored
It's my guitar

And i guess that when shove comes to push
An acoustic guitar doesn't mean you're a wuss
And when i'm sick of hearing noise
I sit right down with one 'my favorite toys

Well my guitar is love
And my guitar's all i need
And my guitar's so special
Cause it plays the songs - not me
It's my guitar

Copping the sound, the sound cops me
I've got nothing to lose
My hair's in the breeze
I don't hate you, just your jealousy
So if you're ready to procrastinate
I'll be your friend, you'll eat me up
We boast the widest range in town
I'll be your friend, you'll show me how

Alarm clock is off, i'm trying to sleep
Smelling of bondi beach
And the street, filthy as it may be
Is still my street, so don't challenge me
Some things don't change, for instance me
I'll sail your third defeat today
In every way, you'll lose again

But i don't care, i don't care
The wind's in my hair, the hair's in my breeze
I'm waiting to sneeze, i'm waiting to sneeze
The hair's in my breeze

Well i don't care, i don't care
The wind's in my hair, the hair's in my breeze
I'm waiting to sneeze, i'm trying to sneeze
The hair's in my breeze

I can't live without your breath
You are all that i adore
I'd say if you were the sun, i'd be the rays
But i don't think that's a suitable metaphor me

How can that be?

I don't know much but i know what i'm talkin' 'bout
I don't care about them anymore
I'd say if you were a kitty, i'd be the litter
But i don't think that's a suitable metaphor me

How can that be?

Enough talk learn to be subtle
Better ways of leaving than slamming the door
I'd say if you were the room i'd be the window
But i don't think that's a suitable metaphor me

How can that be?

I'm out on a limb
I'm trying to climb
I'm feeling unsure
Every little thing
If you give it time
Is destined to change you

Why can't i take back my past if i wanna
Why can't i lose half my life if i wanna

She'll do anything
She'll hurt anyone
That gets in her way
She'll do anything
She'll hurt anyone
That gets in her way

The slippery tongue
I wrap 'round the words
The web that i've spun
Put a stumbling block
In front of the blind
I made you feel dumb

Who says this fruit's gonna last forever
Who says i'm wearing these shoes forever

She'll do anything
She'll hurt anyone
That gets in her way
She'll do anything
She'll hurt anyone
That gets in her way

Locker room dialogue boils the fat
To forget you're a kid feels much better than that
