viii Melodrama2009 from Melodrama2009 / Saintaugustine by central standard time

One bedroom house
with a front yard and a backyard and a man
detached garage
close the door and turn your new car on

it doesn't matter if you pretend it doesn't matter to you
it's not a plan if you make it up and spit it out at me
melodrama when i wanna be alone again
tell your mama i said hi when you go tell all your friends

in a few short months
ill be moving, ill be flying far away
pray to my god
that he wont make me fall flat on my face

like i wanna, scream and shout until i get my way
it's not a plan since the only way to get in is to go through
melodrama, 2009 is spitting in my face
oxford comma on the letters i write, we both know that they're fake

move to my house
stay for a couple weeks
look after my dog
and the secrets you keep
find a better idea
than the one in your mind
dont go in my room you wont like what you find

i want your name
on my inner thigh
in bright red ink
itll help remind
me of why i never go
where im not meant
to be

two men in charge
its no contest but i still fight like a dog
its really not that hard
to fall over my shoes and in your lap

how's your family?
i like to pretend you want me more than them
how's your plan C
i hope a and b were me and me again
melodrama, 15 years ago you would stay with me
drop a bomb on the people i think don't deserve us

melodrama, my life is the same as when i was born
pretty good till a man comes along and rips it right in two
melodrama, suck it up and move on like everyone else
call my mama, tell her to call me in sick again
