Lyrics

Splinter

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Left her car unlocked, staying outside,

Still no sign of him – she feels alright

She went back home again to compare with the place she’s in

Staring at her car under the streetlight

If I’m allowed to stay, and if I wanna stay

I’ll change everything, 'cause you were everything

And if I had my way, and if I had my way,

I would fix you up instead of always piss you off

And if you never come home, then you really must know

I adored you, and I adore you now

And if I’m really alone, then I really must go

Grab my book bag, make my way back home

Left her keys inside, no one cares now

There’s nowhere left to hide, she’s splitting hairs now

She doesn’t like it here and now to her it’s all quite clear,

Staring at this place she’s going home now

If I’m allowed to stay, and if I wanna stay

I’ll change everything, 'cause you were everything

And if I had my way, and if I had my way,

I would fix you up instead of always piss you off

And if you never come home, then you really must know

I adored you, and I adore you now

And if I’m really alone, then I really must go

Grab my book bag, make my way back home

And she’s asking,

“How did I let everything get so nasty?”

You’re going home now with something you wanted

You’re going home now with something you want, you want

And if you never come home, then you really must know

I adored you, and I adore you now

And if I’m really alone, then I really must go

Grab my book bag, make my way back home

And if you never come home, then you really must know

I adored you, and I adore you now

And if I’m really alone, then I really must go

Grab my book bag, make my way back home
