vi Girlfriend from Melodrama2009 / Saintaugustine by central standard time

we say goodbye
in the yard, and we cry
but our cars end up being parked
side by side

so i hold your hand
as i walk you slow
to your dad's old sedan
will you be happier then?

[]

you show up to my house
every other week
at least that's what i wanna think
you're just there to pet my dog

you're finally complete
and i'm weak in the knees
as my heart still beats
when i haven't talked to you in weeks

[]

you grew out your hair
and you smiled a little more
i don't know what i want
but i know you got it

i make the boys stare
with my walk so strange
i wish i was starving and gaunt
so i could be your girlfriend

[]

I drive past your house
And I look at your yard
And your pink bouquets
And I white knuckle my wheel

You mow my lawn
And you smile at my house
Do you know I'm inside
Do you know who I am now
Do you know I'm inside
Have you heard my new name now
Do you know who's inside
