Speedy Ortiz - Shine Theory Lyrics
[Verse 1]Drop the word I'mMeant to use toCoax the pretty waiter from his restaurantThough he's bad newsAnd a cartoonOf every trope the trophy world's designed to want[Pre-Chorus]They say I am a spoiled thingI keep my scar out on my headAnd always come when I am told to goI leave my neighbors scary notesWhich I don't sign while they're at workAnd I don't listen when he tries to talkStare at his flapping jaw[Chorus]I wanna want him so badBut I don't recognize the charms that he has'Cause my heart looks in on itselfAnd he'd be better loved by somebody elseWho cares about his face[Verse 2]Like a robotWho inflicts one shotThen starts to wheel away despite his protocolI got a hook inThe conversationWhich I played for meaty bait, though it was watered down[Pre-Chorus]They say I am a spoiled messI never fold up what should foldAnd shine much better in my house, aloneThe charts predict a brother kidBut doctors say I need a sisThat I can pawn off to my spiral shellAnd tie to my cord as well[Chorus]I wanna want her so badBut I don't recognize the charms that she has'Cause my heart looks in on itselfAnd any friend I make's a stagehand at bestTo help along the play[Bridge]Fights first and facts lastThese lads have the asses for TVBut who's taking my picture?They better be taking it only of me[Chorus]I wanna want him so badBut I don't recognize the charms that he hasI hear he's pretty and swell, but I don't get arousedI wanna want that so badBut I don't recognize the charms that I have'Cause my heart looks in on itselfThat's why the beacon's burnt
