Sweet Tea and God's Graces

"You can get high on a first kiss, you can get by with sweet tea and God's graces, you can love like a sinner and lose like a winner; nothing's shatterproof. You can crash and burn and come back someone new"

Righ’.

Though I think you’re ‘proach needs some work.

[thisbe--french]

Alright, alright. What's your test on?

[mark-holstrom-blog]

So comfortin’.

[thisbe--french]

It’s what girlfriends do best, right?

[itsfucking-john]

Maybe, but you’ll also be wrong, so I’m not sure who’ll really enjoy the satisfaction.

Come get high with me tomorrow and I’ll consider it.

[thisbe--french]

Still me because I'll be getting money for it.

...That's all?

[mark-holstrom-blog]

Guess who’s gonna fail their test t’morrow?

[thisbe--french]

Better not be you, loser.

[itsfucking-john]

I’m not even dignifying that with a response.

Why exactly would I want to give you the satisfaction of anything after the way you treated me?

[thisbe--french]

One day I’m going to write a killer song about how you don’t know Blondie and then you’ll be sorry.

You’re acting like we slept together and I bailed or something. Come on, everyone deserves a second chance.

[itsfucking-john]

Eh, people are rough in Brooklyn.

You feel like who? But…yeah, we’ll see.

[thisbe--french]

If you’re going to keep calling me Blondie then you’re still Brooklyn to me, John. And I hope this a joke. Debby Harry? Lead singer of Blondie.

And don’t give me that ‘we’ll see’ just agree with me. It’s easier for you in the long run.

[itsfucking-john]

Trust me, I’ve got a thick skin when it comes to bad names.

…I think I’ll stick to Blondie.

[thisbe--french]

How come?

Hey, at least that implies you're at least going to talk to me even if I feel like Debbie Harry whilst you're doing it.

[itsfucking-john]

I’m not looking for a fresh start, I’ve had enough of those for one lifetime. But I think it’s only fair to tell me yours, now that you have mine. My real name.

[thisbe--french]

Alright, alright but you’re not allowed to laugh! You gotta’ promise.

It’s..Thisbe.

[itsfucking-john]

It’s John. And you knew where to find me, you chose not to come looking.

[thisbe--french]

See, now if we’re doing names why don’t we just call it a fresh start, John?

If that is your real name.

[itsfucking-john]

Right, because that’s what I want. Some chick hanging around me who couldn’t be bothered to be honest with me, and fucking uses me when it suits her or ignores me when it doesn’t.

[thisbe--french]

How was I even meant to talk to you? It's not the conversation you have by text and it's not like I even know your name. And don't say I used you, because I would never.

[itsfucking-john]

Yeah, absolutely I fucking do. And I can’t help that you stopped skipping class to get stoned with me, I didn’t change my habits. I even fucking bought you that rose, and you still ditched me. This is all on you, babe.

[thisbe--french]

Just because I have a boyfriend doesn’t mean we still can’t hang out if you want. We just can’t..kiss or anything but I still liked spending time with you. Honestly, I avoided you because I didn’t know what to say or tell you.

[itsfucking-john]

How ‘bout the truth? Admit we had a good thing going, that you screwed it up, needing some stupid high school relationship label.

[thisbe--french]

You define us making out and..getting high a good thing? Besides, it happened once, I’d hardly call it a ‘thing’.

Two drifters, off to see the world There’s such a lot of world to see

[thisbe--french]

Go away

Go away where? I'm kinda' happy in Roseboro right now, sweetie.

[itsfucking-john]

You wanna sell me the Brooklyn Bridge too? That’s a shit excuse if I ever heard one.

[thisbe--french]

Well what exactly do you want me to say?

[itsfucking-john]

You sure about that? He get you hot like me? Like when I pressed my lips up against your neck, dragged my fingers down your back? You honestly telling me he’s as satisfying as I was? The way I made you feel?

[thisbe--french]

Honestly I can barely remember, I kinda' try and block that period of my life out due to other events at the time.

[itsfucking-john]

What exactly did I do to make you want to go the long way to class? Or, go to class at all for that matter?

[thisbe--french]

Well, I wasn't exactly avoiding you. That part was a joke but now I have a boyfriend, so...whatever we had...we can't.
