Claw Machine Songtext
I saw the TV glow, I
I'm in the eighth grade
Sending grown men grainy photos
Of my ribcage
My bedroom has no door, so
I can never close 'em
I paint the ceiling black so I don't notice
When my eyes are open
I paint the ceiling black so I don't notice
When my eyes are open
And somewhere south of Tallahassee
A teenage boy with a summer job
He's driving grown men around a golf course
He's going home to a manicured lawn
And digging holes in his manicured lawn
I think I was born bored
I think I was born blue
I think I was born wanting more
I think I was born already missing you
Ooh, ooh-ooh
But my heart is like a claw machine
Its only function is to reach
It can't hold on to anything
No I can't hold on to anything
When my best friend started driving
We never went to class The worst part of the car crash was
Talking to her dad
I said I wasn't scared
But I was faking it
You know it's a mistake
When it's me who was making it
It's always the wrong thing
When it's me who's saying it
I'm in the eighth grade
Sending grown men grainy photos
Of my ribcage
My bedroom has no door, so
I can never close 'em
I paint the ceiling black so I don't notice
When my eyes are open
I paint the ceiling black so I don't notice
When my eyes are open
And somewhere south of Tallahassee
A teenage boy with a summer job
He's driving grown men around a golf course
He's going home to a manicured lawn
And digging holes in his manicured lawn
I think I was born bored
I think I was born blue
I think I was born wanting more
I think I was born already missing you
Ooh, ooh-ooh
But my heart is like a claw machine
Its only function is to reach
It can't hold on to anything
No I can't hold on to anything
When my best friend started driving
We never went to class The worst part of the car crash was
Talking to her dad
I said I wasn't scared
But I was faking it
You know it's a mistake
When it's me who was making it
It's always the wrong thing
When it's me who's saying it
