[00:13.73] Pink lemonade on autumn bomber coats
[00:16.26] Peter Pan collars but my daughter's growing up
[00:19.34] She's gonna be a lot like me
[00:21.86] But I don't wanna be at all like me
[00:24.38] Yellow buzzcuts, pulling out stingers
[00:27.18] You're telling me I'm holding up eleven fingers and
[00:30.27] Stranger things than death can happen
[00:33.08] To lab rat girls and pretty white rabbits but
[00:35.88] Everybody knows that nobody knows that
[00:38.40] Everybody's in on everybody's business
[00:42.05] This isn't my first Christmas
[00:44.30] I know mistletoe when I see it
[00:47.09] Baby, could you play along with me
[00:49.89] Baby, would that be alright with you
[00:52.70] And when we find out what's wrong with me
[00:55.50] Could you tell me how I'm right for you
[00:58.30] Baby, could you play along with me
[01:01.10] Baby, would that be alright with you
[01:03.91] And when we find out what's wrong with me
[01:06.99] Could you tell me how could you tell me how
[01:08.67] And if I'm still pretty
[01:22.40] Cigarette burns, laugh lines, wide dimples
[01:24.92] If they could see the future back when times were simple
[01:27.45] Would they kiss your cheek or yank the bandage off
[01:30.54] Let you speak or take advantage of how
[01:33.06] If everyone's sick, well then nobody can catch it, and if
[01:36.15] Everybody's different how could anybody match
[01:38.67] And we're looking through the pockets of the hand-me-downs we've laid out
[01:41.47] Wondering if we'll fit into the yesterdays we've played out
[01:44.57] Everybody knows that nobody knows that
[01:47.37] Everybody's all up in my god damn business
[01:51.02] This isn't my first kiss, its better to be lost than
[01:54.38] Loved, now, isn't it?
[01:55.78] Baby, could you play along with me
[01:58.59] Baby, would that be alright with you
[02:01.39] And when we find out what's wrong with me
[02:04.47] Could you tell me how I'm right for you
[02:07.28] Baby, could you play along with me
[02:10.08] Baby, would that be alright with you
[02:12.60] And when we find out what's wrong with me
[02:15.68] Could you tell me how could you tell me how
[02:17.93] And if I'm still pretty
[02:31.38] Walking bikes home with a scraped-knee sunset
[02:34.46] Smudged across your brow
[02:38.67] Warmer tears than you've grown used to since then
[02:45.12] A toast to the nosebleed seats
[02:47.92] And the big dream sequence where you're found
[02:53.25] Guilty of your innocence and gently sent right back to bed
[02:59.42] Everybody knows that nobody knows that
[03:02.77] Everybody's all up in my motherfucking business
[03:06.41] This isn't my first anything. This isn't my first anything
[03:11.17] Everybody knows that nobody knows that
[03:13.97] Everybody's in on everybody's business
[03:17.33] This isn't my first lyric, I know exactly how I should finish it
[03:22.37] Baby, could you play along with me
[03:24.90] Baby, would that be alright with you
[03:27.70] And when we find out what's wrong with me
[03:30.50] Could you tell me how I'm right for you
[03:33.30] Baby, could you play along with me
[03:36.10] Baby, would that be alright with you
[03:38.91] After all of that's been done to me
[03:41.43] Could you tell me how could you tell me how
[03:43.67] Could you tell me
[03:44.51] What's so wrong about what's wrong with me
[03:47.03] I'm just trying to do what's right by you
[03:49.83] What's so wrong about what's wrong with me
[03:52.62] I'm just trying to do what's right by you
[03:55.15] Baby, could you play along with me
[03:58.23] Baby, would that be alright with you
[04:01.32] After all of that's been done with me
[04:04.12] Could you tell me how could you tell me how
[04:07.49] Could you tell me how
