lyrics

Saw Jim Reid in the corridor and I wondered if he could ever see me that way
He was on my list at the grocery store when you grabbed my wrist
And said you liked me keychain
Read your feature in the weekly paper
And honestly I found it a little bit bloated
Friday we fell through the coffee table
And that’s when I discovered that my heart exploded/
How you’re a lollipop in the form of a lightning bolt
You’re a lollipop in my hair but I’m a gumdrop
Am I ever gonna fit that mould
Because I don’t have the patience to wait in line for you
When I came back to apologize
You asked me if I was intrigued by LSD
I sat next to you on the picnic bench and before I knew it
You were flying next to me
I met your baby at the exposition
And frankly I found it a little unnerving
I let you know when we were driving home
And all I can remember is the fact we were swerving
Lollipop in the form of a lightning bolt
You’re a lollipop in my hair
How could I ever obtain you?
But you’re a doorstep when you’re lying on the bathroom floor
And I don’t have the time to wait in line for you
How could I ever betray you?
Alter my state to get through this date
You’re alone in this picture and it swallows me whole
You look like Iggy Pop circa ’73 or ‘4

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
