lyrics
[Intro]
so I hear your pretty new to this
you’re lookin’ mighty serious, you show some promise!
but you got your head down, you’re lookin’ pathetic…
I never read it but you know I’ll embed it like no one else can
so pull out, pull out your notebook!
[Verse]
After you wake up from your nap
and you wonder where I’ve been
'I never even left the house'
I was lying through my skin!
but you were good enough to play along
kuz you knew what I was up to
You knew that all along
[Pre-Chorus]
we’d wait until you’d close your eyes
and I’d sneak her in the house
No time to over-analyze
be quiet as a mouse!
to make it up the stairs
quit squeaking up the wood!
You said you want to learn the hard way
it’s completely understood! uh huh!
[Sexy Verse]
After I chase you up the stairs
and we Superman the bed
you straddle me in underwear
and I rip over your head
the summer dress you snuck in to the spring
You knew you’d get me, and you did!
[Pre-Chorus]
you got it right when you snuck out behind your parents back
and you met me in the park
Don’t say you can’t be out too late
it’s already getting dark!
You climb upon my shoulders
I kiss you on the hand…
You say you want to run away from home
I completely understand! uh huh!
[Chorus]
…but you know that I gotta try to stop you!
I know I have to
and you can say you move along in another song
but you maybe wouldn’t move along if I try to stop
(you can) travel all you want to
People only leave where they are if they’re missing something
or other, or you wouldn’t bother,
all I know is I’ve got to try to stop you...
