I'm here to remind you.
"And everytime i scratch my nails down someone else's back i hope you feel it... oh, can you feel it?"
The heat created beads of sweat on my back as I rode the noisy bus home. I made sure to walk home around the baseball field. They weren't playing. My friends told me we were going out. I wanted to go out. My lips were cherry and my cheeks blushed as he grabbed me. He held on for a little too long. A couple trips to the keg and a few laughs later our eyes met. His smile gave him away. It seemed like he played pool for hours. He tried to dance with me... and I walked away. I put his pool stick away. I saw him follow some people up the stairs and I was close behind. We stood in the garage. He watched me take a drag. I made sure it was slow. He blew smoke at me and I played with it in the air. I felt his eyes on me. Trapped in the stairwell, people taking away our opportunity. I played with his hand making sure he couldn't hold it. I was so calm. Like it was my job to make him sleep with me. I watched him to see if that's what he wanted. And when he took his last cigarette and nodded at me I decided to follow him. I was outside and we were alone for only a moment. But when my ride came he asked me to stay. Torn, I told him I couldn't. He said, "That sucked... didn't that suck?" And I answered, "whatever." He had his chance. A boy... new. Mmm... his lips grazing my jawline and his eyes covering me. It felt good. It is my job to make them sleep with me. One that I never asked for... rather it found me.
I'll say, "Sleep with me..."
And they always will... they always will.
I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her
Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
