Hold Steady (The)

Two Handed Handshake
His two handed handshake Says he's so glad to meet you His one silver earring Says he parties on weekends He churns through the channels When he's watching the TV He recites lines from movies When he's trying to be funny Guys, it's like we're not even trying Yeah, she danced with that one guy She must know we're watching It seems like less people Than were here just last weekend She's still pretty pissed About her ex's new trick There were stares And glares and names Girls, you know you're not really helping I don't think that you'll find love In some bathroom at some club SongtexteI know some kids who didn't come back We had First Ave. on Fridays We're pirates at port We go in and we get high, Two at a time We get drunk on the sports We're falling into bed With our television sets We're watching movies That we've already seen Guys, it's like we're not even trying You dress like contestants At some desparate paegent You fall asleep in your makeup You wake up with a blemish You're making up your mind About the drinks after work It's such a gossipy office Girls, you're gonna find someone You don't have to rush it You're too young to force your crushes You don't have to rush it You're too young to fake your crushes Oooh Guys, I'm pretty sure that we can put it back together And girls, you gotta try to be nice to one another Guys, I'm pretty sure that we can put it back together And girls, you gotta try to be nice to one another I don't think we'll get the truth From kids with stickers on their boots I know some kids who didn't come back From the plywood painted black We gotta try a little harder We gotta be a little better We gotta pull it back together Aus Songtexte Mania
