Nickels

(album: The Cardboard Swords - 2015)

Do, Re, Mi and you
Fit together like the puzzles that your bestfriend loves to do
And every single second that you're sippin on your drink
Is a time that I am jealous that your lips aren't on my cheek

And I'll stand tall beneath those city lights
And we'll sing loud beneath those city lights
And we'll touch mouths beneath those city lights
And keep on filling up our cups every single city night

If I had a nickel for every single girl I met
That's just like you, then I would only have five cents
And I'd still be just as poor as I haver ever been
I'm just fine

And I'll keep lighting up your cigarettes
And supporting all our bad habits
Who you and I have passed to what?
And I don't see why we couldn't work them together
And keep on camping on summer nights when there's good weather

And tonight will go perfect with that dress that fits you perfectly
And that smoke on your breath matches me

If I had a nickel for every single girl I've met
That's just like you, then I would only have five cents
And still be just as poor as I have ever been
I'm just fine

If I had a nickel for every single girl I've met
That's just like you, then I would only have five cents
And still be just as poor as I have ever been
I'm just fine
