Joanie by The Front Bottoms Lyrics

Either swallow it down or spit it out
But either way, let's move along
I'm radioactive, I'm in pieces
But I am still feeling strong enough

To walk away from all of this
The car's crashed, I just don't care
My followers abandoned me
'Cause Papa Bear was unprepared

If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
I know I'd be so brave right now
If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
I know I'd be so brave right now

Maybe I'll get back to you
Maybe I haven't learned a thing
Maybe this is the last time for you
But it's not the last time for me
I love the things you pay for
That knock you down and make you dizzy
I got distracted somewhere along the way
Shaking hands and looking busy

If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
I know I'd be so brave right now
If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
I know I'd be so brave right now
If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
Oh, my one and only

[Verse 3]
You ever think that maybe
I could be one of those things
That you hate at first but eventually learn to love?
And then trust and then touch and then cut
Yeah, I bet you will
Yeah, I bet you will

Took a lot of day trips
Tryn'a get away trips
Sorry that I have cold lips
Nothing left to say lips
I'm calling double or nothing
On everything that I have
Finally am what I am
A fucking bag of bags

If only you could hold me (bag of bags)
My sweet, sweet Joanie (bags of bags)
I know I'd be so brave right now
If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
I know I'd be so brave right now
If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
Oh, my one and only
