Burning vs Drowning - McCafferty

They’re bored, that’s why she’s always on her phone

And we could stay here for the weekend, but I know I gotta get back home

She says she hates her last name because it makes her feel like she belongs

Her mother says she’s not her favourite and her brother comes in second maybe

third, but she’s in last

And she will always be in last

In the blacklight I could tell a sick joke

Do you think I’m funny, or was it something else

And in the bathroom I could write your name down

Are we all this desperate?

I think the answer is «yes»

And in the blacklight I could tell a sick joke

Do you think I’m funny, or was it something else

And in the bathroom I could write your name down

Are we all this desperate?

I think the answer is «yes», oh

In the living room your father says to me

Through quiet simple words that this was meant to be

So I will get my books and you could get the car

And we could sleep here now, she says «I'm glad you broke my heart»

And oh your airsoft gun is loaded and it’s pointed towards my face

And oh your eyes they meet my eyes, and oh your eyes are full of hate

They say «the grass is always greener on the other side»

But sometimes the grass only is green until the grass has finally died

And in the blacklight I could tell a sick joke

Do you think I’m funny, or was it something else

And in the bathroom I could write your name down

Are we all this desperate?

I think the answer is «yes»

And in the blacklight I could tell a sick joke

Do you think I’m funny, or was it something else

And in the bathroom I could write your name down

Are we all this desperate?

Are we all this desperate?

«Forgot a fill, but, whatever.»
