You play guitar and I play the drums You think it's charming when we get drunk 'Cause you say nothing but I like that And I said something but I took it back Our hometown is not big enough It could never hold the both of us You know things your girlfriends taught Well hold that thought baby hold that thought She walks around like she's in heat She makes it sound like she's in heat She's breaking curfew just for me So I know better than to try and speak When she's going home when the streetlights glow And the moon is full and her mother knows 'Cause she done the same when she was her age So she don't complain when she acts that way I bob and weave just like a boxer Avoiding heartbreak from the east I never been much of a talker Avoiding heartbreak from the east I get the feeling that I lost her Avoiding heartbreak from the east Happy hunting, she's such a gem Cranberry somethings, she had a lot of them And boarding schools have got the best cocaine And I'm warning you you're gonna be okay Til she's going home with another guy 'Cause its murphy's law and it's a matter of time She's gonna grip the sheets before she screams his name He's gonna burn his hands on my former flame Now bob and weave just like a boxer Avoiding heartbreak from the east I never been much of a talker Avoiding heartbreak from the east I get the feeling that I lost her Avoiding heartbreak from the east Avoiding heartbreak at least Then call me up when you're weak
