"Candyland" lyrics

"Candyland"

Sour apple Jersey Shore
I almost had the perfect score
You wanna play one more
You don't know what you're asking for
The stars are fake, I make my luck
A poem is a gateway drug
If this is something, I don't know what
Shove it down, it keeps coming back up

What makes you so sure you want me back?
I remember how it felt
And nothing ever could compete with that
But I can give you something else

You can buy a house in Candyland
You can buy a brand new minivan
You can have anything
We just can't have everything
But you love to talk, and I love to listen
You dish out all your thrift store wisdom
Razor's edge both-siderisms
You win the room, and then you switch positions

What makes you so sure you want me back?
I remember how it felt
And nothing ever could compete with that
But I can give you something else

I shake my head and roll my eyes
I let you try to change my mind
You say this isn't normal life
But it could be if you like
Dismantling my time machine
I'll probably put it back together for a final scene
Was it broken glass or a diamond ring?
I'm done letting it bother me

What makes you so sure you want me back?
I remember how it felt
And nothing ever could compete with that
But I can give you something
I can give you something
I can give you something else
