The Subtleties Of Chores & Unlocked Doors

I've been hanging around this girl and she wanted to date I liked her just fine, but boy I loved to fuck her I met her at a party when the cops rolled up She asked to take me home so I hopped in her truck We kicked up all the gravel on the way to her door Wasn't five minutes 'til my clothes were on the floor I've been hitting up the bottle since the sun went down And I was willing for whomever was around Anyways it's nice knowing there's a pretty girl On the other end of all my long winded letters And I scribble that I scrabble that I score from the road It was getting pretty heavy so I proposed a plan Said I'd like to try it out being your girlfriend She knew how to drink from the bottom of the shelf She could make them laugh until they pissed themselves I figured if we could settle for this drag of a town If we could settle for friends who ain't around If we could settle for disappointment Then I think that we can learn to settle for this She was a mess, and I was a mess I thought it'd be a good idea to get wrecked together But when I came home I was feeling much better So I packed my shit and left There was this boy who I found sweet Sometimes I crawl under his covers late at night We don't fuck, we barely speak He just wraps me in his arms real tight And when he breathes on the back of my neck When he brushes my skin by accident Oh lord, it feels good to know I've got my patience back We've got pills to ease our pain And we've got bodies to hush our loneliness With enough of the two, I think we're gonna make it through all right We can get naked together Take dirty naps whatever Just as long as we suffer from one another You can hold my hand but you can never hold my heart We can lie to all our friends, call in sick or whatever But so long as we suffer apart from one another You can hold my hand, but you can never hold my heart
