Nelly Furtado - Explode Lyrics
Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom funWith a lighter and some hairspraySmoking in the girls' roomNot worse than Shelley's rape behind the McDonald'sBy a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybodyOr maybe back then we just thought that she was getting someNow we look back and see that she didn't know howWe never thought that we'd get caught upStuck in the teenage wasteAs we explodeAs we explodeAs we explodeAs we explodeThen getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the KmartRolling around in them to see if you would get prickledSlip the acid on your tongue rooftop mall parkadeWe couldn't get enoughThen count the stars and the ten million woesJust you and the universe judging each otherWe never knew that we'd get caught upStuck in the teenage wasteAs we explodeAs we explodeAs we explodeAs we let goIt's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belongGot a shiner now and it's more than a battle scarMore than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tellAt lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch breakSuch a good, good story to tellYou bully, you break, you bully, you breakYou fake, you fake, you fake, you fakeYou smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt, you hit it and you're in it and it's spinningAnd it's wildWe never thought that we'd get caught upStuck in the teenage wasteAs we explodeAs we explodeAs we explodeAs we let goWe're counting the starsWe're counting the starsWe're gonna go far, we're gonna go farWe're counting the stars, we're counting the starsWe're not very far, we're not very farAnd it's you and me in the open airIt's truth or dare, we don't careWe're counting the stars, we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars
