lyrics

i thought i could handle either result
telling you exactly how i felt
now those stupid words follow me
like fire chases after gasoline

but running around with my swimsuit on
in the back yard, it was not hard
to take a swan dive like a beehive
hitting the ground

so i'm walking it off, rubbing some dirt in it
nothing to do with the pain but keep on hurting it

what am i still doing out here
clinging to this beer, pretending that i wanna smoke?
you're out talking to someone else now
and i'm freezing cold

but running around with my swimsuit on
in the back yard, it was not hard
to take a swan dive like a beehive
hitting the ground
but the fireworks set off a familiar hurt:
i don't want to be alone
i want to be married and happy
