girls wanna use you as perfume
and i recognize that scent
it’s stinking up my room
it smells of devotion and intent

and we wish that we were strong
but we’re not, we’re not strong enough at all
we bend, we break, we fall
we’re doomed to be no one at all

you carry me all the way home
when my ankles are as sprained as my soul

we want it all, get it all, and still think we have nothing
you don’t just think that way when you’re young
sometimes the revelation never comes
that what you have is grand and how about that
i am so sprung

and we wish that we were strong
but we’re not, we’re not strong enough at all
we bend, we break, we fall
we’re doomed to be no one at all

you carry me all the way home
when my ankles are as sprained as my soul
