Kissing Contest Lyrics

Four in the morning

And I'm waiting around

You had invited me over for supper

But it's nearly breakfast time now

And I know that you kissed her

And you kissed her on the mouth

And I hope her spit tasted a little like mine

So I could sit pretty in your mind

And it's not really like me to forget a face

So I'm studying portraits to find three so lovely

Together they might fill your place

I can't imagine

Couldn't happen to guess

You'd be so uncertain

It's so hard nonetheless

And I don't want you to sympathize

Or immortalize me

I just find it so strange that you'd lie to me

It's not a contest

No one will win

It's water, it's biting

It's wearing us thin

It's jaded, it's fragile like skin

And I know that you kissed her

I can feel it on your mouth

And you won't admit it

You'd be liable then

But you're feeling proud of yourself

And when you came crashing

I cushioned the ground

You told me you'd never felt something so warm

You just couldn't love me anymore

Oh I can't imagine

Couldn't happen to guess

You'd be so uncertain

It's so hard nonetheless

And I don't want you to sympathize

Or immortalize me

I just find it so strange that you'd lie to me

I just find it so strange that you'd lie to me
