lyrics

The middle seat, riding home wasted
Seconds to just rest my head
Turned to minutes of faded
Cigarette breath on my neck
But you are a part of his family
He's the captain of this wanted car
There's construction on 41 highway
Good thing we're not going too far

It won't kill anyone if I bruise you
So hold still, 'cause this one might hurt
You are somebody's nephew
And I am nobody's girl

Do you think he saw me in the mirror
Or even cared to look behind?
I saw him first but I'm guessing
Who I'll go home with tonight
How do you love just one person?
Maybe I love a little too much
He said he wants a lover, but baby
I don't think he knows how to love

It won't kill anyone if I bruise you
So hold still, 'cause this one might hurt
You are somebody's nephew
And I am nobody's girl

It won't kill anyone if I bruise you
So hold still, 'cause this one might hurt
You are somebody's nephew
And I am nobody's
Kill anyone if I bruise you
So hold onto the ship as we turn
You are somebody's nephew
And I am nobody's girl
