Lyrics for Candyfloss

I'm the boy that looks excited I'm the boy that's gonna fall apart Candyfloss, I lie to myself I'm the boy that eats his heart out I know I should be more careful I know I should watch where I've been Candyfloss and she's a safecracker She kissed me first and then broke in We slip and slide on the stay-together landmine I make my mind up to never be myself And every time I make a rhyme I live my life for someone else Oh-whoa Oh-whoa Oh-whoa She's in the kitchen with bitter diamond drunks (She's in the way) I'm on the sofa hoping she leaves that punk 'cause I'm the boy with the poetry power I'm the boy, smells like flowers Every time I make a rhyme I live my life like I wasn't invited Oh-whoa She's in the way I'm in the way I'm the boy that looks excited I'm the boy that's gonna fall apart Candyfloss, she kissed me first And I'm the boy, don't get me started I know I should be more careful I know I should watch where I've been Candyfloss, she's a safecracker She kissed me first, then broke in Oh-whoa
