Spent hours getting ready
For the seconds that we'd speak
Hair perfect for the moment
That you'd turn your back on me
Arms wrapped around another
And once again I feel sixteen
I'm just a friendly face
Faking a smile to my daydream
How can you ask me why
Your words turn into tears in my eyes?
Does it give you pleasure
Knowing I'm a fool for you?
My cheeks burning red
I can tell you're so amused
Don't have the kind of grace
To leave you spellbound with a wink
Sure, I've got poetry
But I choke up and then
I sink
How can you ask me why
Your words turn into tears in my eyes?
Fingers crossed but I know deep inside
My hearts been fun and games all this time
All this time

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
