ben bostick - paper football lyrics

Loading...

chocolate ice cream on your tight tan face
lying on the hammock and staring into sp#ce
hum a melody, then it’s gone without a trace
hmmm…

feel the ridges, valleys, ridges of your bones
as i paint my name on your skin in coppertone
and you cheat on your homework over the phone
ooh sweet and sad

i didn’t cry when i heard the news of your suicide
just saw you sitting there, sweet and sad
i took the blow and it cast my memory back
to playing paper football in the back of class

drive an hour just to go and mock the gossips at the mall
and talk of movie stars and losers in the bathroom stall
frame our names in heart on cracked white tile wall
forever and ever

that night lying back in the bed of a hand#me#down highboy in the holler
rolling round and fooling round and pulling bourbon from the bottle
screaming and shouting at the shooting stars to stay a little longer
forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever…

i didn’t cry when i heard the news of your suicide
i just saw you sitting there forever and ever
i heard the words and they cast my memory back
to playing paper football in the back of class

images of high and wild, dancing and insane
printing doubles so we both could have the same
drop into the junk store to buy some empty frames

drag my shadow down lake murray blvd
no one home so wait in your front yard
sunshine tries to bleach away my scars
while i think about the dealer who dealt us these cards
darkness falls on your front yard
hmmm…

slipping and sliding in and out of forever
slowly sliding and slipping down the river
beat back the current and never surrender
playing paper football forever and ever
