Times Like These
We started seeing eachother A week after I moved into town And we put our best boots forward Like dykes often do
And fast forward was our plan But I realized really soon That I was on another racetrack Spinning out of control again.
And hanging out with you was like smoking Cigarettes at a gas station It felt like something was going to blow Whenever I opened up my mouth
My anger seems to be the only part of me You want to highlight So what's that about? What are you hiding inside yourself?
Chorus: I'm sitting in my car pulled over At Broadway and Main And these metaphors are exploding all through my brain And I'm writing these words on the back of a campground ticket stub Wishing I had scrap paper in my car for times like these
You would dump fuel on me, light a match And wave it in front of my face And I'm not into in being set on fire Just to be snuffed out again
And I'm not into being patronized And told I have beautiful blue eyes As my body's going up in flames
And when I asked for your opinion You didn't had a good answer You just sat on the fence Saying there was no right and no wrong
Well, that's just the easy way out The easy way out of responsible 'Cuz you can't be held accountable Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com When you don't take a stance
Chorus: I'm sitting in my car pulled over At Broadway and Main And these metaphors are exploding all through my brain And I'm writing these words on the back of a campground ticket stub Wishing I had scrap paper in my car for times like these
One day I was walking on the beach in the rain I was thinking about how I felt when I spent time with you I felt like a little girl wanting your approval I needed to defend myself, I needed to explain myself, pretend I was a nice girl But I'm not a nice girl anymore
I realized that My anger is my new best friend It keeps me smart, it keeps me conscious It helps me write good songs
I'm learning how to hold it I'm learning how to use it right And I know when to give it up when it doesn't Serve me anymore
And you feel like a gift to me In one of those challenging kind of ways I'm not an angry person You just really pissed me off
And you forced me to look at myself But I'm looking at you, too, girl And when I'm done looking at you I'm gonna go get myself a life
Chorus: I'm not apologizing for how I view the world And I'm not apologizing for the feelings that I have And I told you what I want and you told me what you want, too But we both know this ain't it, this just ain't it
Repeat Chorus
