why do you have to put a date on everything

you've got your muscles in one big knot
well mine are just loosening
you used to cut me up inside
i won't let you do it again

make sure the friend catches the first time
make sure the friend catches the first time

chorus
why do you have to put a date on everything?
can't you just strike the bell to hear it ring
thought that your skin would crack, it's just wrinkling
why do you have to put a date on everything?

you think that something is turning?
well it's not spoiled cause i tried it once
and if it's all the same to you at this point
you keep your face and i'll keep the rest

chorus
