Pretty Little Girl

(album: Dogs Eating Dogs - 2012)

[Tom DeLonge:]
Nineteen, your eyes are glowing to my beating heart
Oh, it seems like it is fine as my hand is moving up your arm
And you never really know where it goes up until it starts
I got my eye on you, what you gonna do?
Daydream near a stream with the linear bites
Oh, I listen to the song on repeat from the other night
And I can't picture you, but I sure got the feeling right
What a crazy world, pretty little girl

And we wake from the night in a bed with a bruise
And we're laughing out loud over the craziest news
And you reached for my hand, I was scared in your room
We fell on the floor and we started to move
And your hands were like birds as they flew from the coop
Up my back, they would climb just as I came unglued

[Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus:]
She said, "If you break my heart, then I'll change your mind
And I'll do it again"
If you play the part, then I will play mine
And I'll do it again
If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight
We'll be there to try it again

[Tom DeLonge:]
Nineteen as we roll across the bedroom floor
Your eyes, they cannot lie, as you're dreaming of our future home
And the kids are growing up, as you and I, we are growing old
What a crazy world, pretty little girl

In the rain, with the drink from the back of the bar
I would raise up my voice, you would raise it up more
We'd forget that our lives being apart, it is hard
We'd thought we were close, but it still feels far
Can we learn to get by if we learn to have scars?
If we learn to forgive and accept who we are

[Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus:]
She said, "If you break my heart, then I'll change your mind
And I'll do it again"
If you play the part, then I will play mine
And I'll do it again
If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight
We'll be here to do it again

[Yelawolf:]
Wait a minute, hold up a second
Don't leave me here with this feeling, like I'm the one full of regret
Like I never did good for us both, like you never did
Pull out that weapon
And stick that knife in my back, was I supposed to accept it
When your words are like
More than just sticks and stones, kinda like a bullet
A hollow tip that's lodged in my bones, and I can't just swallow it
My pride is more than all that I own, so I gotta give it away
And some of the times I'm all the way wrong
But can't you see past me and see my fucked up home
That made me the meanest, the devil is just singing along
To the song I write 'til I'm alone at night
And I hang up the phone and bite my tongue
'Cause I know that me and you is just only right, but
One, one, one, one

[Tom DeLonge:]
It's a cry from the past, we have been through a lot
Every year has been great and a few have been tough
And your kids, they will reach for the stars up above
We'll sit and relax as we're cheering them on
The ropes to the light from the crib to the grave
We started alone, in the end we're okay

[Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus:]
She said, "If you break my heart, then I'll change your mind
And I'll do it again"
If you play the part, then I will play mine
And I'll do it again
If we miss the mark, if we hold on tight
We'll be there to try it again
