it's hard for me to negotiate
the distance that i must keep from you
you pull me in just to push me out and i'm
pretending that i know what to do

but each and every evening i try holding back some more
but you always tell me

i kiss with too much tongue
that i don't tease enough
i blame it on the love
and i'm always quick to trust

since i was a playground kid i
never knew who wasn't a friend
give an inch fuckers took a mile
and i'm laughing like it's all just pretend

but each and every morning i was walking out my door
the names got a little meaner

so i kiss with too much tongue
i don't fuck with anyone
i just hole up in my room
until i get some time with you

the world is full of shitty boys (Everybody sucks now, baby)
with lips that could destroy (Whoooaaa-oh-oh)
and everybody sucks
oh why oh why don't you?

i need to be a tough guy
can't let anybody know who i am
conserve emotional capital
don't let anyone like you give a damn

so you can kiss with too much tongue
and not fuck with anyone
don't just smoke up in your room
until you're sleeping on the moon

yeah everybody sucks (you know we all do, baby)
and yeah everybody knows (Whoooaaa-oh-oh)
i don't think i'll ever know
what is too much, too much tongue
