December's colder than I ever imagined
anything could ever be
every drunk girl on this street goes home
with some sort of company
in skirts shorter than the time you took
trying to get to know me
I'll wait for years, I'll wait for days
I'll wait however long it takes
I'll wait all night, all of my life
I'll wait however long it takes
but you're not coming back now, are you?
You weren't coming back now, were you?
All that time you lied to me
how dare you
how dare you
Joanie, Joanie you're a delicate angel
who wouldn't choose you over me?
We're trading swigs from the same wine bottle
as we sit on a hill by my parents' street
your fingers frailer than those of a child's
and right now they feel like tiny icicles
you look prettier in tighter t-shirts
and I wonder if that is why he wants you so much more
and I wonder why that is
why he wants you so much more
You're allowed, you're allowed
so hate me, too
every bit as much as I hate you
you're allowed, you're allowed
so hate me, too
every bit as much as I hate
You're not coming back now are you
you weren't coming back then, were you?
All that time you lied to me
how dare you
how dare you
I wonder if that is why he wants you so much more
I wonder why that is,
why he wants you so much more.
