lyrics

just now I met a girl with a shaved fuzzy head
she is playing the piano, she is sitting on the bench
and I later find out we’re in the same writing class
has a hyphenated last name and she snorts when she laughs
and then back in my room, she’s got nothing underneath
and her eyes they look like water, I think I’m lost at sea

I am falling down
I got both feet off the ground
I can’t get enough
this boy’s in love

and she folds up her notes done in charcoal and pen
stages nude photographs and she’s tight with all my friends
puts her hand on my lap while she’s steering the car
and she eases up her skirt, can't remember where we are
and I’m writing her songs and she’s singing along
and I still can’t figure out why it feels like something’s wrong

I am falling down
don’t know when I’ll touch the ground
I’m too high above
this boy’s in love

and I finally learn why her fingers all have scars
she gets rid of all her food in the bathrooms of bars
and her sex gets so rough, says she needs to feel pain
tells me when she was a child her stepfather was to blame
when she steps on the ledge it takes two of us to save her
I know I can’t leave yet but I know that it’s over

I am falling down
can you hear that awful sound?
screaming from above
this boy’s in love

I am falling down
so very quick I got turned around
someone help me up
this boy’s in love

get me off this drug
this boy’s in love
