Daddy-Longlegs Lyrics by McCafferty

Thanks. Sorry. Sure.

2017

(Fuck!)

[Verse 1:]
I think I found out where I do not belong
Stuck inside my head here with all my songs
And I ran so far that I lost the time
And I realize now the whole world is mine

[Verse 2:] x 2
She said "My friends died when I was real young
I think they're waiting for me on the other side
And when I wake up, and you're still gone
Promise that you're waiting on the other side"

(I'm sorry!)

[Verse 3:]
And you were angry as she walks away
And you're getting angry as she tries to stay
And you're getting older so it's hard to say
If this all feels forced or if you're here to stay
And I'm getting angry as you walk away
And you're getting sober starting here today
And I'm getting older so it's hard to say
If this all feels forced or if I'm here to stay

(Hey guys this is Brian and we wanted to say thank you for keeping - *garbled*)
(I treated you better than he ever did, and you deserved none of it, and you never will)

[Verse 4:] x 2
Daddy-longlegs, daddy, daddy-longlegs crawl
Daddy-longlegs, crawl until the bodies fall

[Verse 5:]
And it was easy up until the lights went out
Your brother told you everybody's here to hunt
You better run now, better use your self-control
I'm getting nervous, I want to hurt you

[Verse 4] x 2

[Verse 6:] x 2
And you were just the first step in a long line
Of every mistake I've made, I can't believe I
Used to hang out with you, I used to love you
I used to want you, I used to need you

[Verse 7:] x 12
And I still want you
And I still need you

[Outro:]
I just wanna say from the bottom of me heart
I'd like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody!
