Jenni's Song
Matthew Good · Other Songs - Matthew Good
And now she's a millionaire
She got beat up mostly for being at home
So mostly she wasn't there
Me, I'm waiting to see
What goes around when she comes around
To kill me
Were you dead way before tonight?
Throw it back and stay a while
I've seen red most of this little life
Throw it back, we'll die a while
We go out and we pa** out in our clothes again
Giving it and losing it for the time of our lives
I'm giving it and losing it for the time of my life
You're giving it and losing it for the time of your life
Were you dead way before tonight?
Throw it back and stay a while
I've seen red most of this little life
Throw it back and we'll die a while
I know what it means: "you got me"
We're not sick we just need it for the weekends
On Mondays it's gone
I used to think I was invisible, beside you i'd crumble
You wait for it and you wait for it, you wait for it and it'sgone
And you wake up and nobody knows that I loved you buried alive
Were you dead way before tonight?
Throw it back and stay a while
I've seen red most of this little life
Throw it back and we'll die a while
