Joanie Songtext
von The Front Bottoms

You can swallow it down or spit it out, but either way let′s move along
I'm radioactive, I′m in pieces, but I am still feeling strong enough
To walk away from all of this, the car is crashed, I just don't care
My followers abandoned me 'cause Poppa bear was unprepared

If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie, I know I′d be so brave right now
If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie, I know I′d be so brave right now

Maybe I'll get back to you, maybe I haven′t learned a thing
Maybe it's the last time for you, but it′s not the last time for me
I love the things you have to pay for that knock you down and make you dizzy
I got distracted along the way, shaking hands and looking busy


If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie, I know I'd be so brave right now
If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie, I know I′d be so brave right now
If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
Oh, my one and only

Do you ever think maybe I could be one of those things
That you hate at first but eventually learn to love
And then trust, and then touch, and then cut
Yeah, I bet you will
Yeah, I bet you will

I took a lot of day trips, trying to get away trips
Sorry that I have cold lips, nothing left to say lips
I'm calling double or nothing on everything I have
I finally am what I am, a fucking bag of bags

If only you could hold me (bag of bags)
My sweet, sweet Joanie (bag of bags)
I know I'd be so brave right now (that′s all I am)
If only you could hold me (I′m just bag of bags)
My sweet, sweet Joanie (bag of bags)
I know I'd be so brave right now

If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
Oh, my one and only
