Red Birkenstocks Lyrics

I was drunk and texting you

Said you'd be over in a few

We took the stairs up to my room

Everything I owns a different shade of blue

On your red lanyard is red pointy cat

for self defense in case you get attacked

Hanging next to some Red Pepper Spray

To stop a theft or a rape

I'm not a woman, I don't know what's it's like

To fear for my life while walking home at night

You get worried about me

When I'm drunk and stumbling the streets

Making friends with the homeless

In a couple years I'll probably be one of them

You set down your red purse

Next to the blue pellows on my blue bed

Took off your red Birkenstocks

And your patched denim jacket

You're so fucking cool and honest

I'm fucking fake and heartless

You smelled my golden waffle candle

And got black smeared all around your nose

And you don't want to wipe it clean

Instead you eskimo kissed it off on me

Said I was going to the bathroom to take a piss

Instead I snuck down the stairs to the kitchen

I chugged a glass of my roommate's gin

If we're gonna have sex I need to be drunk for it

I've got all these dark secrets

That I don't tell anyone

I'm afraid of commitment

Lost the capacity to trust

So I'm drunk, every time

That we fuck, or I'm high

There's no way anybody

Will love the real me

I don't know how to let myself fall in love again

I'm afraid of being vulnerable and letting you in

In the way the things on your lanyard protect your life

I protect my broken heart with all these lies

How long do these things take to heal?

Because I really want to go back to being genuine and real
