Ribbons + Texas Songtext
von August Ponthier

She said, "You look good for your age"
I said, "I′m only 28"
Wondering if I'm supposed to be offended
I was a kid against my will
Playing pretend to pay my bills
I always felt just like the world was ending

I used to hate the color pink
I used to laugh at girly things
′Cause everything's embarrassing at 14
So now I'm in between

I′m wearing my ribbons as I′m doing my taxes
It's baby′s first time living and you don't get to practice
No one tells you if you blink fast, you don′t get your girlhood back
Don't throw it all away in advance
′Cause I'm getting as close as I can


By now, my mom would be a wife
But I'd feel like a child bride
I wonder if she even had some questions
Well, if you know me, you know I swear
If someone took my Teddy Bear
I′d lose my shit and probably get arrested

I used to hate the color pink
I used to laugh at girly things
′Cause everything's embarrassing at 14
So now I′m in between

I'm wearing my ribbons as I′m doing my taxes
It's baby′s first time living and you don't get to practice
No one tells you if you blink fast, you don't get your girlhood back
Don′t throw it all away in advance
′Cause I'm getting as close as I can

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
