Via the anguish
of knowing you Jacob
I'm every age
of myself up 'til now
I'm eighteen
and waving goodbye
to my parents
I'm twenty
and leaving my study in Paris
I'm twenty-five
and arrive at the bar
I'm early you're late
Of course you are
How'd I picture
this night would end
I waterproofed
these leather boots
And it never rained again
I'm always gonna do it
so why otherwise pretend
that I won't see you
when I do if I can
During and after
your time underneath me
You find yourself caught
in a number of moods
At first it feels perfect
to fold up around her
Then you regret
the entire encounter
No one knows
what goes on in between
Our tired tradition
My only routine
How'd I picture
this night would end
I waterproofed
these leather boots
And it never rained again
I'm always gonna do it
so why otherwise pretend
that I won't see you
when I do if I can
It isn't a matter
of not self-respecting
I fuck who I wanna
now that I'm grown
The reason I'm shaking
is 'cause I'm empowered
And all modern women
should sob in the shower
And lay in bed
'til the sky goes black
Let's do it again
whenever you're back
How'd I picture
this night would end
I waterproofed
these leather boots
And it never rained again
I'm always gonna do it
so why otherwise pretend
that I won't see you
when I do if I can
How'd I picture
this night would end
I waterproofed
these leather boots
And it never rained again
I'm always gonna do it
so why otherwise pretend
that I won't see you
when I do if I can
