80 Degrees

I turn a blind eye on history

You turn our friends into enemies

Tainted every pop song we go crazy about

And of all the things that you didn’t throw

Your fancy gifts were the first to go

Now the charity shops ‘round here all know me by name

Think I’m a saint

I washed my mouth out at 80 degrees

Tried a 100 different remedies

But I couldn’t get the taste out

I never listen anymore

To the singers that you live for

The songs that I once adored

Had to cut my hair and paint the walls

All the things we said we wanted

Don’t want them anymore

I found myself in a pile of books

I dance at parties now I don’t care how it looks

To flirt with strangers

Never feeling danger

Let the room spin

Cause thinking back makes me curl my toes

The way I dressed up, all lace, ribbon and bows

Trying to please you

Oh and everything is so easy now

I washed my mouth out at 80 degrees

Changed my name, went to therapy

But I couldn’t get the taste out

I never listen anymore

To the singers that you live for

The songs that I once adored

Had to cut my hair and paint the walls

All the things we said we wanted

Don’t want them anymore

All the things we said we wanted

Don’t want them anymore

And now I’m mortified from hanging about

I got this heartbeat, baby, trying to get out

And I got more than one good reason to shout

I'm never, ever, ever going back

I never listen anymore

To the singers that you live for

The songs that I once adored

Had to cut my hair and paint the walls

All the things we said we wanted

Don’t want them anymore

All the things we said we wanted

Don’t want them anymore

All the things you think I wanted

Don’t want them anymore
