verse 1
I was never cool enough to be a hip kid
I could never inhale behind the cathedral stairs
Early puberty attracted the nerdy young men
I made it all the way through high school without getting pregnant
chorus
I thought I knew everything I was wrong
became evident when you said baby hold on
verse 2
I was never street enough to be a gangster
I could never pop a cap in his ass or score a gun gram or gear
I'm a reasonable cook I could make you a mean chow main
Let me guess you recognise my face but you are terrible with names
chorus
bridge
I m not well equipped for winter
I've got these holes in my shoes where the water's coming through
you say baby what have we to lose
I say maybe I don't want to lose my only pair of shoes
You said that these were water tight shoes but then somehow the water gets through
Sick and tired of your excuse
chorus (I think)
verse 3
I was never good enough to meet your parents
and when your cousin got engaged you took that red head instead
I was kind of irrate when I decided to make amends
considered slashing your tyres but fucked your brother instead
chorus

Holy shit its gunna snowI can tell by the sag in the clouds you know
Flakes they'll come down so slippery soo sweetly
Like you go down on
My little sister covered your blisters that time you walked her round three miles
when you returned you swore that nothing went on
I came to find you.... heard her screaming like a dirty little
Holy shit its gunna snowI can tell by the sag in the clouds you know
Flakes they'll come down so slippery soo sweetly
Like you go down on
My friend June fell in love with you
you both assured me that you'd remain true
through the key hole of the bathroom stall oh yes I saw you
and you were putting it in her back
Holy shit its gunna snowI can tell by the sag in the clouds you know
Flakes they'll come down so slippery soo sweetly
Like you go down on me.
