Black Boots and Leather Rebellion Songtext
von Lowell

5 a.m.
And I can′t seem to close my eyelids
Can I take back all the things that I said
Last night lying on the carpet?
(Can we just) sweep it under?
I don't really hate my father
I just needed to vent

All my life
It′s been a black boots and leather rebellion
My mother was a bra-burning fighter in the '60s
And now you want to settle down
Can you settle down?
Oh, you want to settle down, do you?

I'm a shit show, but I′m still your favourite
You watch me step on every crack along the pavement
Already 40, probably too old for me
But I guess I just felt like I needed saving


So, I let you take my toes, dip them in wet cement
And I let you take my coat and make me feel delicate
And I let you screw this jar tighter than you need to
So I need you
And now I need you

5 a.m.
And I can′t seem to close my eyelids
Can I take back all the things that I said
Last night lying on the carpet?
(Can we just) sweep it under?
I don't really hate my father
I just needed to vent

All my life
It′s been a black boots and leather rebellion
My mother was a bra-burning fighter in the '60s
And now you want to settle down
Can you settle down?
Boy, you hit my heart so loud
Now you want to settle down


Ooh-ooh
Settle down
Settle down
Screw this jar tighter than you need to
So I need you
And now I need you
And now I need you

Take my toes, dip them in wet cement
And I let you take my coat and make me feel delicate
And I let you screw this jar tighter than you need to
So I need you
And now I need you
And now I need you

And now I need you
