"Triple Dog Dare" Lyrics:

I'm not tired yet.

We still got a lot to figure out,

like what was the end of the movie about, anyways?

You're yawning on your couch.

I wonder if I've overstayed my welcome

until you ask me if I'd like to take a walk.

We're going to the five and dime,

the only open place at this time of night.

You're dancing in the aisle cause the radio

is singing a song you know.

The kid at the counter is gawking at your grace.

I can tell what he's thinking by the look on his face.

It's not his fault, I'm sure I look the same.

It's what you do, but it's not you I blame.

Your mama read my palm.

She wouldn't tell me what it was she saw,

but after that, you weren't allowed to spend the night.

I'm staring at my hands.

Red, ruddy skin I don't understand.

How did they betray me? What did I do?

I never touched you how I wanted to.

What can I say to your ma to let you come outside?

You know I'll be seeking if you run and hide.

If the door were to open, would you walk through the frame?

If you're too afraid, it won't be you I blame.

You passed a note in class,

told me to meet you at the overpass.

Your lip was trembling when you said that we are cursed.

You're trying not to cry

when you tell me you're afraid that we may die.

I said, “So what?

Everybody's scared of that.”

I want you to tell me that you miss me,

want you to hold and hurt and kiss me.

I want to run away and live on your family's boat.

It's a triple dog dare, you're a chicken if you don't.

I can fish for our food and you know how to start a flame.

If you don't get out now, you'll only have yourself to blame.

You said, “You have me there,

if it's a triple dog dare.”

A triple dog dare

A triple dog dare…

They put our faces on the milk jugs.

Missing children til they gave up.

Your mama was right, and through the grief

can't fight the feeling of relief.

Nothing worse can happen now.

Nothing worse can happen now.

Nothing worse can happen now.
