Backbone Lyrics by June Divided

Backbone

2012

[Verse 1]:
Well it started with a few choice words slippin' out of my mouth
And the expression on your face looks like you didn't like the way it sounds
Won't take it back because my bones told me I made them proud
When they said I had to understand understand understand
A skeleton will never work without
No it won't work without a

[Chorus]:
Oh got a backbone in me now
It keeps my head on tightly wound
So I don't lose it
Oh-oh got a backbone in me now
It makes me say these things out loud

[Verse 2]:
I might've waited way too long but now I'm standin' straight
Must be strange for you to hear me make a point with all these things I say
And I can see you grind your teeth as my words come out
When I said you had to understand understand understand
This time I think my bones will stick around (will stick around)

[Chorus]:
Oh-ho got a backbone in me now
It keeps my head on tightly wound
So I don't lose it
Oh-oh got a backbone in me now
It makes me say these things out loud
Makes me say these things oh-oh

[Bridge]:
We'll switch our bones so you will know
I'll give my bones so you will know just how it feels to have a
We'll trade our skeletons for now
We'll be trading skeletons so you know how it feels to have a
Backbone

[Chorus]:
Oh-ho got a backbone in me now
It keeps my head on tightly wound
So I don't lose it
Oh ho got a backbone in me now
It makes me say these things out loud
It makes me say these things oh-oh

[Chorus/Bridge]:
Got a backbone in me now
(We'll be trading skeletons so you know how it feels to have a)
It keeps my head on tightly wound
(We'll be trading skeletons so you know how it feels to have a)
So I don't lose it
Oh-ho got a backbone in me now
(We'll be trading skeletons so you know how it feels to have a)
It makes me say these things out loud
(We'll be trading skeletons so you know how it feels to have a)
It makes me say these things oh
