Josh Warren - Eighth Graders And Harbor Boats lyrics

rate me

I saw a girl from across the room

Her eyes met mine and what could I do?

I walked over to her, gave a smile and said,

"Would you like to dance?" and she nodded her head.

So we danced all night and I held her 'til dawn

Felt like just me and her until the sun came up

I asked her If she needed a ride

"Of course," she said and calmly replied:

She was only fourteen.

Another night, another girl

Before she lets her hair unfurl

My latest greatest mistake without attraction

The shirt comes off, the heat is on

Exactly like the other ones

Isn't there somebody else out there to distract me?

For a while or at least for longer than an evening

All the while deja vu sets in and now I'm screaming

Chorus:

Menagerie, a tragedy

Call it what you will

I'll say with no god as my witness

I'd leave it all behind

For just one week with a stable mind

A tapestry of blasphemy

Lying on my bed

Make-up stained still smelling like perfume

To me these sheets still tell of her too well

Variety's the spice

But the staple is stability

My palette's satisfied, my stomachs empty

I can't afford to lose another

Meal to apathy and smother

This opportunity with reparte

For a while or at least for longer than an evening

All the while deja vu sets in and now I'm screaming
