Hooped Earings

(album: The Front Bottoms - 2011)

Come on give me a break, what is the point if I stay,
there's not that much I can say.
I never really knew your mom anyway.
And now she's crying in the bathroom.
I'm standing on the back porch for support.
And she is begging you not to cut your hair
cause curly hair don't look good cut short.

And you have gotta do this now or you can never come home again.
Yeah, you have gotta do this now or you can never come home again...again.

You got a rash on your neck just below the line
where at your shirt stops covering and leaves your skin bare.
It's such an unimportant detail,
that has nothing to do with anything,
but it's the only thing I remember from when I cut your hair.

And you have gotta do this now or you can never come home again.
Yeah, you have gotta do this now or you can never come home again.
And there are not so many options, there's not so many ways that this could possibly end.
So you have gotta do this now or you can never come home again...again.
