Phantom Planet – Just a Scratch

i dont know where my temper went

i lost it in an argument

you kept too sharp and careless

when you made your point and pierced me with it

i said it did a perfect match

its meant to burn with just a scratch

now that should seem to fire you up

how do i approach this conversation

cuz i feel like a firetruck

pulling up too late

to obvious arsen

I said I’m good I’m moving on

Well it won’t be long, it won’t be long

What was that thing hanging from your lips

I swear I wont become afixed

I watched the smoke you struck a flame

You then held to your cigarette

Now was there something more you meant

that I had not uncovered yet

Well I guess that’s just about as close

As I was ever going to get

Walking along I start to gash

It’s nothing more It’s just a scratch

You fanned the fire you fanned your lash

And I feel like I’m about to collapse

I’m telling you it does not hurt

Don’t ask you’ll only make it worse

Walking along I start to gash

It’s nothing more it’s just a scratch
