Alligator Clips

Big girls don't cry
Big boys don't lie
They share barrettes, smoke cigarettes
And care enough to fight
You left your alligator clips
On the bathroom sink that drips
All the time, red, red wine
Dime store happiness
It's heavy

On and on, is this before or after
It's been so long since I heard your laughter
I understand that the world keeps spinning
Is this the end, or just a new beginning?

Peppermint and mace
Peacock's feathers in a vase
An antique chair, an empty stare
A picture of your face
It's heavy

On and on, is this before or after
It's been so long since I heard your laughter
I understand that the world keeps spinning
Is this the end, or just a new beginning?

Let's take a ride
'Cause I wanna drive
Out of sight, out of mind

Big girls don't cry
Big boys don't lie

On and on, this candle's burning faster
Are you my friend, or just a new disaster?
I understand that the sky is falling
My eyes are red and the night is crawling

On and on, is this before or after
It's been so long, God I miss your laughter
I understand that the world keeps spinning
Is this the end, or just a new beginning?

A new beginning
A new beginning
A new beginning
A new beginning
