"Tennis Shoes" lyrics
JPNSGRLS Lyrics
"Tennis Shoes"
Chalk up the board and leave a mark
The words read fine but the ending's dark
Anna sings me right in to sleep and
Can I be brave just for this weekend?
It's a grey area
It's a bad idea
It's gonna wake suburbia
And shake the curlers out of their hair
Because there's no likeability
In a lack of ability
Until you stop hitting me
I'll smack the white off your tennis shoes
My city burnt its pretty lights
My city burnt but the warmth was nice
And suddenly I am at your mercy
And you did your best to make my nose bleed
On the grey area
It's a bad idea
It's gonna wake suburbia
And shake the curlers out of their hair
Because there's no likeability
In a lack of ability
Until you stop hitting me
I'll smack the white off your tennis shoes
She said "I- I- I- I-
I- I- I- I told you to leave me"
She said "no, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't you police me"
She said "I- I- I- I-
I- I- I- I told you to leave me"
She said "don't, don't, don't you, boy, beat me into poetry
That's not fair to me"
Well that's fine
'Cause It's a grey area
It's a bad idea
It's gonna wake suburbia
And shake the curlers out of their hair
Because there's no likeability
In a lack of ability
Until you stop hitting me
I'll smack the white off your tennis shoes
Because there's no likeability
In a lack of ability
Until you stop hitting me
I'll smack the white off your tennis shoes

Kevin Devine - "No Why" When they find you in the back bay
Bits and pieces by the back bay
No one asks, "Is this a war?"
You lace your boots & go to war
Set the shot, I put my gun away
Do the work, I throw my gun away...
Super Whatevr - "For You" Hey, I don't wanna be the only one
Who stays awake at night
What if I decided
That they're creeping up on me?
And you can't seem to see
That I'm not sorry for the way I treated me
I'd like to think...
Saint Motel - "Butch" Oh no there she goes, dressed up in Daddy's clothes, quick while he's still away.
Slip in to his shoes, zip up them denim blues, and let yourself fade away.
Walk to your front door, meet me by my old...
Can't Swim - "Right Choice" I feel it now and it won't stop
Take me back to the place where we first start
(Lie awake thinking, bad thoughts keep creeping)
I'm so ashamed of that one night
Put your hands on my eyes just to...
Bad Suns - "Sleep Paralysis" Oh, carve your name in a tree
Or just run your fingers through wet concrete, yeah
Leave a mark, a mark worth leaving
What's self worth? The moment's fleeting
The sand runs through your fingers
It's...
