[Verse 1]
"Hi," says the girl with the right eyes
That pairs pretty well when she hits you with the soft smile
You can kinda tell that something's going on, but
She's like a Skrillex song that never drops
She'll never talk, she'll never talk about the feelings that she felt today
Better kept inside of a fence, inside of a cage, inside of a safe
That's safe for her
'Cause they, they just hurt
And she don't know why that God sauntered
I hope he's trying
She said, she said, she said, she said
She said, "I hope he's trying
Frank, do you think he's trying?"
Then I said, "I don't know"
But I asked her, "What's wrong?"
She just nods her head
And then I asked her, "What's wrong?"
And she said...
[Verse 2]
"He was the picture perfect person, loved my mother oh so dearly
You could feel the love reverberate wherever in our building
If it'd feel the same today I wish I'd know, but
Sometimes you drive a car and lose control
Into poles
Hold me closely
I don't think you should love me
I always feel so lonely
Knowing that nothing will ever last forever
Sorry, Frank
You're much too late, much too late
Sorry, Frank
You're, you're much too late
Much too late"
("You are so late")
[Verse 3]
"Hi," says the girl who doesn't have time for relationship advice, rather relationships at all
She holds her breath all day and fucking gasps for air at night
She promised she would love me but only 'til the morning time
The more that I engage in it, the more that I am mortified
That I'm like every other shitty guy
And then "bye,"
Says the girl who doesn't have time for relationship advice, rather relationships at all
I asked her, "What's wrong?"
I asked her, "What's wrong?"
And she said
And she said
She said...
[Verse 4]
"He's such a bummy crusty cruddy father, fucking every girl he takes to coffee
He lied to Mom in holy matrimony
Hold me closely
I don't think you should love me
I always feel so lonely knowing that nothing will ever last forever
Sorry, Frank
You're, you're much too late
Much too late
Sorry Frank, you're, you're much too late
You're much too late, you're much too
Sorry, Frank, you're much too late
Much too..."
