gum wrapper by emily the band

[Verse 1]
It just stings a little
I won’t lie my eyes
Feel like I’ve got soap in ‘em
I might wallow but I won’t cry
Or at least, I will try not to cry

You know I wish you could be a
Full-time groupie too but
School’s holding you down
I’d love to see you on the stage
And watch you from the crowd

[Chorus]
I’m glad the sunlight gets to
Kiss you the way I want to
I hope she gets the job done when I can’t

But I’m jealous she gets to watch you
Handwrite all your thoughts
And mold them into melodies for me
Melodies for me

Oh oh, oh oh
Melodies for me
Oh oh, oh oh

[Verse 2]
Your red Ibanez from the pawn shop
Is sitting right where I should be, huh?
Now I’m sitting, counting sleeps
Till I can take its job

[Chorus]
I’m glad the sunlight gets to
Kiss you the way I want to
I hope she gets the job done when I can’t

But I’m jealous she gets to watch you
Handwrite all your thoughts
And mold them into melodies for me
Melodies for me

Oh oh, oh oh
Melodies for me
Oh oh, oh oh

[Bridge]
Morning voice sounds like cinnamon
Fold me a star out of your gum wrapper
Rough around the edges
But when my head’s where your chest is,
All I can do is listen and stare

Morning voice sounds like cinnamon
Fold me a star out of your gum wrapper
Rough around the edges
But when my head’s where your chest is,
All I can do is listen and stare

[Chorus]
I’m glad the sunlight gets to
Kiss you the way I want to
I hope she gets the job done when I can’t

But I’m jealous she gets to watch you
Handwrite all your thoughts
And mold them into melodies for me
Melodies for me

Oh oh, oh oh
Melodies for me
Oh oh, oh oh
