Chain Me Free - The Matches

She was from my home town

I’d never met her

Ditched her boyfriends

Cause I was better

She showed me pictures in her car…

Pictures of the Beach Boys

And Kelly Slater

Bounced from the party

Cause the girls all hate her

She said she wants to see the stars

She’s had some fast times

First times always last times

Out in the foxglove, I’m in…

Chain me free

Or let it all fall

We can be all, we can be all, I said

What’s in your head?

Lose the key

Or please don’t call

We can be all, we can be all, I said

She kissed me dead

She calls me during Loveline

And gets the machine

She wants to see me

But not to be seen

As if she’s got some mystery

(I) Missed her life for a few weeks

Before I called her

Still didn’t get it

So this is how I stalled her:

Even though you’re seventeen

I’ve got to tell you

You’re too old for me

She’s had some fast times

First times always last times

Out in the foxglove, was that?..

You’re all drugged out and delirious

Don’t close your eyes — are you hearing this?

I’m about to say something

That I swore I’d never say

I gotta get it out before I get away

I gotta get away before I get it out

I gotta get away before I get it out

I gotta get away before I get it out

Chain me free

Lose the key
