This song is the fourteenth song released as a bonus track for Japan from Waterparks debut LP Double Dare. The song uses candy imagery to talk about false happiness to cover up negative emotions.
[Verse 1]
My sweet tooth got me a root canal
But pulling teeth these days seems easy now
I’ve got some years of practice so I know that I won’t outlast
All the pain that always stops
My teeth and tongue could live in a museum
And try to feed my brain nostalgia too
For the times that I won’t miss, for the team I said I ditched
For the pain they'll always stop
[Chorus]
Candy-coat your problems
If they’re bitter and they’re awful
I won’t let this be a sad song
Or make this hard to swallow
You've got me calling all the time
My days are stacked
I'm losing sleep and track of time
We don’t have thoughts that coincide, my brain is dry
Let's set the record straight, this is graduation
[Verse 2]
My busy schedule’s jealous of friends I see (friends I see)
And my compulsive need for progress just might overtake me
While I’m building my excuse out of pieces of the truth
When I wish that I could stop
Everything just feels good right now (right now)
It's the simple, perfect heat that you could go home with
For the hundredth thousandth time let’s make everything alright
Oh, I wish that I could
[Chorus]
Candy-coat your problems
If they’re bitter and they’re awful
I won’t let this be a sad song
Or make this hard to swallow
You've got me calling all the time
My days are stacked
I'm losing sleep and track of time
We don’t have thoughts that coincide, my brain is dry
Let's set the record straight, this is graduation
You've got me calling all the time
My days are stacked
I'm losing sleep and track of time
We don’t have thoughts that coincide, my brain is dry
Let's set the record straight, this is graduation
[Bridge]
I'm up too late again
No sleep, just rolling over and over again
Deadlines all extend
Let's set the record straight, this is graduation
Candy-coat your problems
If they’re bitter and they’re awful
I won’t let this be a sad song
Or make this hard to swallow
[Chorus]
Candy-coat your problems
If they’re bitter and they’re awful
I won’t let this be a sad song
Or make this hard to swallow
You've got me calling all the time
My days are stacked
I'm losing sleep and track of time
We don’t have thoughts that coincide, my brain is dry
Let's set the record straight, this is graduation
You've got me calling all the time
My days are stacked
I'm losing sleep and track of time
We don’t have thoughts that coincide, my brain is dry
Let's set the record straight, this is graduation
Let's set the record straight, this is graduation
