Alice

Another Alice intervention I gave her all of my attention She's the life of the party She came home with somebody last night I can hear her crying through the walls now She's not afraid to let it all out She's a little bit manic But I know all about it, it's fine She's knitting pretty outfits on the sofa Worried 'bout the fact she's getting older Talk until she crashes on my shoulder May third Waterman Avenue Oh, Alice In the morning we'll be laughing about it Drinking coffee around the block, watching traffic Oh, Alice We're growing up Oh, Alice Another story for the books 'bout the baddest And I'm not usually the one who's nostalgic But oh, Alice We're growing up Another guy that got my hopes up Thought I was dying in our bathtub But she force-fed me dinner, made me look in the mirror and smile She says my name like it's an anthem She wipes my tears and understands them Makes me feel like the winner Even though I'm a loser in his eyes I'm crying out my feelings on the sofa Worried that the best I had is over Talk until I crash up on her shoulder June tenth Waterman Avenue Oh, Alice In the morning we'll be laughing about it Drinking coffee around the block, watching traffic Oh, Alice We're growing up Oh, Alice Another story for the books 'bout the baddest And I'm not usually the one who's nostalgic But oh, Alice We're growing up Oh, Alice Oh, Alice Oh, Alice We're growing up Oh, Alice Oh, Alice Oh, Alice We're growing up
