i wasn't prepared for this

we're just boys singing at microphones
stealing lines from record sleeves
and wishing on your hipbones

and if this isn't a cry for help,
then i couldn't tell you what is
but you've got me wrapped around your finger
and i'm never prepared for this...

now i'm in stitches because of you
(can you feel it slipping through your fingers?)
all you ever, ever do
(life's just away a breath away)
is find new ways to rip me in two
(if you give in to these sinners)
just to break in two

we're just kids breaking hearts and bones
because it's all we ever learned
contradictions will always leave you alone

so please teach me something new
because i can't keep falling apart over you
but you've got me wrapped around your finger
and i'm never prepared for this

now i'm in stitches because of you
(can you feel it slipping through your fingers?)
all you ever, ever do
(life's just away a breath away)
is find new ways to rip me in two
(if you give in to these sinners)
just to break in two

and i'm better at this
than slitting wrists
but i never said i was above it
if my voice is your nicotine
don't you wish you could breathe me in?

and i'm better at this than slitting wrists
but i never said i was above it
and if my voice is your nicotine
i bet you wish you could breathe me in

now i'm in stitches because of you
(we're just boys singing at microphones)
all you ever, ever do
(stealing lines from record sleeves)
is find new ways to rip me in two
(and wishing on your hipbones)
just to break in two

and i already told you, i'm never prepared for this
