I always thought I had a place in your heart
But it seems I'm gonna have to up and wait in line
I'll stand in front of your building with a tag on my shirt
And I'll say, "hey, it's me, girlfriend number ninety-nine."
I'll take a picture in the bathroom by the bar
And I'll tell you that it's just because the lighting looked so fine
Dance all night, I'll pass out on your couch
And you'll toss me your blanket, and you'll say, "stay the night, ninety-nine."
So I'll just hold your hand tomorrow
And I'll just hold you down next year
So I'll just hold my wounds together
And I'll just count the nights you leave
Keep the lights on at night if you need me to
I'll keep a candle on my table just in case
Sleep all day so at night we can stay up late
And I won't leave my socks all over the place
You're the gum on the ground, you're the cut on my face
You're my worst decision--but can I call you mine?
Can I say that I'm someone special, or to you
Will I always just be that number ninety-nine?
Ninety-nine
So I'll just hold your hand tomorrow
And I'll just hold you down next year
So I'll just hold my wounds together
And I'll just count the sweetest tears
I'll turn my head when we fight, I won't raise my voice
I'll pretend that your words don't cut me like a knife
Sleep alone, rip my tag, 'cause you don't come home
Cry myself to sleep and say "it'll all be fine."
Tell me you're seeing her, leave the door unlocked
When I meet her I won't cry
I'll say hi,
"I'm ninety-nine."
Nice to meet you, I'm doing fine
Never a hundred; ninety-nine.
