Lyrics
[Chorus]
I'm the boy that looks excited
I'm the boy that's gonna fall apart
Candyfloss, I lie to myself
I'm the boy that eats his heart out
[Chorus]
I know I should be more careful
I know I should watch where I've been
Candyfloss and she's a safecracker
She kissed me first and then broke in
[Verse 1]
We slip and slide on the stay-together landmine
I make my mind up to never be myself
And every time I make a rhyme
I live my life for someone else
[Bridge]
Oh-whoa
Oh-whoa
Oh-whoa
[Bridge]
She's in the kitchen with bitter diamond drunks
She's in the way
I'm on the sofa hoping she leaves that punk 'cause
I'm in the way
[Verse 2]
I'm the boy with the poetry power
I'm the boy, smells like flowers
Every time I make a rhyme
I live my life like I wasn't invited
Oh-whoa
[Refrain]
She's in the way
I'm in the way
[Chorus]
I'm the boy that looks excited
I'm the boy that's gonna fall apart
Candyfloss, she kissed me first
And I'm the boy, don't get me started
[Chorus]
I know I should be more careful
I know I should watch where I've been
Candyfloss, she's a safecracker
She kissed me first, then broke in
[Outro]
Oh-whoa
