Songtext zu 'Curtains' von John Gallagher Jr

I’m too scared to close my eyes and fall asleep.
Cause my bed is haunted by a girl.
She steals the covers and she holds on to me.
I feel bad waking her up.
Even though she hates me like its not a strong word.
And she makes me wish
I’d never heard any song that played as long as she was around.
I don’t think you get it.
I didn’t mean it anytime i sang, but i mean it now.
I don’t think you know it. you wouldn’t even show it now.
How do you have to be before you can act civil towards me?
You called me names like it was seventh grade.
I pulled your hair and skinned your knee.
I’ve never been a perfect specimen,
But i am trying to remember the way you looked
That first september when you didn’t hate me like its not a strong word.
And make me wish id never heard any song that played in the gymnasium.
I can’t forget your number fast enough
Cause every time i’m idle, i just want to dial it.
And im idle all the time now.
I’m so idle all the time now.
But i don’t think you’ll miss this.
Judging by how quick you said you could replace it.
I dont think i can face it.
I only cry when i’m not awake.
Well maybe i’m some sinner, at least im looking inward.
Maybe nothing matters. i don’t think that it matters.
Cause i know we wont be talking at christmas.
And baby you’ll be chalking all of this up to my own insecurities
And my faint sense of purity.
Leaning on your crutch again?
Standing straight and sleeping there. (?)
Smiling for you customers is ten times more than i could muster.
Please, don’t you dare wish me well.
Just bite my lip and tell me to go to hell.
So than i can be sorry.
I will always be the one whos sorry now.
Whos sorry now?
Thats curtains, thats curtains.
Yeah, thats curtains. thats curtains.
On you and me.
