Alvvays - Lollipop (Ode to Jim) lyrics
[Alvvays - Lollipop Ode to Jim lyrics]
Saw Jim Reid in the corridor
And I wondered if he could
Ever see me that way
He was on my list at the grocery store
When you grabbed my wrist and
Said you liked my keychain
Read your feature in the weekly paper
And honestly, I found it a little bit bloated
Friday, we fell through the coffee table
And that’s when I discovered
That my heart exploded how? How?
You’re a lollipop
In the form of a lightning bolt
You’re a lollipop in my hair
But I’m a gumdrop
Am I ever gonna fit that mould?
'Cause I don’t have the patience to
Wait in line for you
When I came back to apologize
You asked me if I was intrigued by LSD
I sat next to you on the picnic bench
And before I knew it
You were flying next to me
I met your baby at the exposition
And frankly, I found it a little unnerving
I let you know when we were driving home
And all I can remember is
The fact that we're swerving
You’re a lollipop
In the form of a lightning bolt
You’re a lollipop in my hair
How could I ever obtain you?
But you’re a doorstop
When you’re lying on the bathroom floor
And I don’t have the time to
Wait in line for you
How could I ever betray you?
Alter my state to get through this date
You're alone in this picture
And it swallows me whole
Alter my state to get through this date
You're alone in this picture
And it swallows me whole
Alter my state to get through this date
You're alone in this picture
Alter my state to get through this date
And it swallows me whole
You're alone in this picture
Alter my state to get through this date
You’re a lollipop
How could I ever obtain you?
In the form of a lightning bolt
You’re a lollipop in my hair
How could I ever betray you?
You look like Iggy Pop circa ’73 or ‘4
How could I ever obtain you?
Because I don’t have the time
Wait in line for you
How could I ever betray you? Wait for you
And I wondered if he could
Ever see me that way
He was on my list at the grocery store
When you grabbed my wrist and
Said you liked my keychain
Read your feature in the weekly paper
And honestly, I found it a little bit bloated
Friday, we fell through the coffee table
And that’s when I discovered
That my heart exploded how? How?
You’re a lollipop
In the form of a lightning bolt
You’re a lollipop in my hair
But I’m a gumdrop
Am I ever gonna fit that mould?
'Cause I don’t have the patience to
Wait in line for you
When I came back to apologize
You asked me if I was intrigued by LSD
I sat next to you on the picnic bench
And before I knew it
You were flying next to me
I met your baby at the exposition
And frankly, I found it a little unnerving
I let you know when we were driving home
And all I can remember is
The fact that we're swerving
You’re a lollipop
In the form of a lightning bolt
You’re a lollipop in my hair
How could I ever obtain you?
But you’re a doorstop
When you’re lying on the bathroom floor
And I don’t have the time to
Wait in line for you
How could I ever betray you?
Alter my state to get through this date
You're alone in this picture
And it swallows me whole
Alter my state to get through this date
You're alone in this picture
And it swallows me whole
Alter my state to get through this date
You're alone in this picture
Alter my state to get through this date
And it swallows me whole
You're alone in this picture
Alter my state to get through this date
You’re a lollipop
How could I ever obtain you?
In the form of a lightning bolt
You’re a lollipop in my hair
How could I ever betray you?
You look like Iggy Pop circa ’73 or ‘4
How could I ever obtain you?
Because I don’t have the time
Wait in line for you
How could I ever betray you? Wait for you
