We started seeing eachother
A week after I moved into town
And we put our best boots forward
Like dykes often do
And fast forward was our plan
But I realized really soon
That I was on another racetrack
Spinning out of control again.
And hanging out with you was like smoking
Cigarettes at a gas station
It felt like something was going to blow
Whenever I opened up my mouth
My anger seems to be the only part of me
You want to highlight
So whatâs that about?
What are you hiding inside yourself?
Chorus:
Iâm sitting in my car pulled over
At Broadway and Main
And these metaphors are exploding all through my brain
And Iâm writing these words on the back of a campground ticket stub
Wishing I had scrap paper in my car for times like these
You would dump fuel on me, light a match
And wave it in front of my face
And Iâm not into in being set on fire
Just to be snuffed out again
And Iâm not into being patronized
And told I have beautiful blue eyes
As my bodyâs going up in flames
And when I asked for your opinion
You didnât had a good answer
You just sat on the fence
Saying there was no right and no wrong
Well, thatâs just the easy way out
The easy way out of responsible
âCuz you canât be held accountable
When you donât take a stance
Chorus:
Iâm sitting in my car pulled over
At Broadway and Main
And these metaphors are exploding all through my brain
And Iâm writing these words on the back of a campground ticket stub
Wishing I had scrap paper in my car for times like these
One day I was walking on the beach in the rain
I was thinking about how I felt when I spent time with you
I felt like a little girl wanting your approval
I needed to defend myself, I needed to explain myself, pretend I was a nice girl
But Iâm not a nice girl anymore
I realized that
My anger is my new best friend
It keeps me smart, it keeps me conscious
It helps me write good songs
Iâm learning how to hold it
Iâm learning how to use it right
And I know when to give it up when it doesnât
Serve me anymore
And you feel like a gift to me
In one of those challenging kind of ways
Iâm not an angry person
You just really pissed me off
And you forced me to look at myself
But Iâm looking at you, too, girl
And when Iâm done looking at you
Iâm gonna go get myself a life
Chorus:
Iâm not apologizing for how I view the world
And Iâm not apologizing for the feelings that I have
And I told you what I want and you told me what you want, too
But we both know this ainât it, this just ainât it
Repeat Chorus
