Hank Green, The Perfect Strangers - Marilyn Hanson lyrics
[Hank Green, The Perfect Strangers - Marilyn Hanson lyrics]
Did you ever wanna go to
Back where we were before?
Smell that pot smoke wafting out
From under your dad’s door
And the steak knives by the bedside
Jokes cracked in the black light
They were maybe not the best times but
Well I've had worse
And I wouldn't trade those memories
For the whole fucking earth
Dancing to Hanson and Marilyn Manson
And I know that that doesn't make
Even a little bit of sense
That was the point
That beautiful incongruence
We didn’t fit, and we didn't care
That feeling's still with me, it’s everywhere
And it didn't matter that it didn't
Matter to anyone but ourselves
And of course we'd drift apart
And maybe we'd lose touch
Even though we're not together
It matters just as much
'Cause when you'd say I was OK
I believed it in a new way
And as the sun rose on that dusty
Couch and we were still awake
You had nothing to give me
But you gave it all the same
Dancing to Hanson and Marilyn Manson
And I know that that doesn't make
Even a little bit of sense
That was the point
That beautiful incongruence
We didn't fit, and we didn't want to
That feeling's still with me
It's in everything I do
And it didn't matter that it didn't
Matter to anyone but ourselves
Back where we were before?
Smell that pot smoke wafting out
From under your dad’s door
And the steak knives by the bedside
Jokes cracked in the black light
They were maybe not the best times but
Well I've had worse
And I wouldn't trade those memories
For the whole fucking earth
Dancing to Hanson and Marilyn Manson
And I know that that doesn't make
Even a little bit of sense
That was the point
That beautiful incongruence
We didn’t fit, and we didn't care
That feeling's still with me, it’s everywhere
And it didn't matter that it didn't
Matter to anyone but ourselves
And of course we'd drift apart
And maybe we'd lose touch
Even though we're not together
It matters just as much
'Cause when you'd say I was OK
I believed it in a new way
And as the sun rose on that dusty
Couch and we were still awake
You had nothing to give me
But you gave it all the same
Dancing to Hanson and Marilyn Manson
And I know that that doesn't make
Even a little bit of sense
That was the point
That beautiful incongruence
We didn't fit, and we didn't want to
That feeling's still with me
It's in everything I do
And it didn't matter that it didn't
Matter to anyone but ourselves
