Straight Edge Girlfriend
Love's Battle with Temptation: The Story of a Straight Edge Girlfriend
Lyrics
She's got x's up her arms and legs
She displays straight edge symbols (x's) on her arms and legs.
And with me don't know why she stays
Despite not understanding why, she remains with the narrator.
Because I'm wasted before she's even awake
The narrator is intoxicated early in the day, even before she wakes up.
She's never smoked a cigarette
She has never smoked a cigarette.
And she lives her life without regret
She lives her life without remorse, except in situations involving the narrator.
Except for when she goes out with me on dates
She regrets going out on dates with the narrator.
But she still comes out to the bar
She accompanies the narrator to bars but drinks non-alcoholic beverages while the narrator consumes alcohol.
And drinks her coke and coke
She drinks coke while the narrator drinks alcoholic beverages.
As I drink my poison swill
The narrator drinks harmful or toxic alcohol.
Leaving her heart broke
Her heart is broken due to the narrator's actions.
She's my straight edge girlfriend
The narrator emphasizes that she adheres to the straight edge lifestyle.
She's with me all the time
She remains with the narrator consistently.
She's always there to bail me out
She helps the narrator out of trouble caused by drunkenness.
When I'm too drunk to drive
She assists when the narrator is too intoxicated to drive.
She's my straight edge girlfriend
And I'm so glad that she's mine
The narrator expresses happiness about being with her.
Even though she's mad at me
Despite being upset with the narrator's drinking habits, she remains by their side.
For drinking all the time
She's upset with the narrator for drinking excessively.
She expects me to be a cheat
She anticipates the narrator being unfaithful.
But I would never do such a thing, well
The narrator assures they wouldn't cheat, but there's a reference to someone else (Genesee).
In her defense, she's never met my girl Genesee
She hasn't met Genesee but might have seen the narrator with someone else (Mickey) in a compromising situation.
She's never met Mickey at all
She hasn't encountered Mickey.
But one time I think that she saw
The narrator suspects she might have seen them kissing Mickey.
Me and her making out
They were observed kissing Mickey in a restroom stall.
In a bathroom stall
But she just ignores it
She acknowledges but dismisses the incident.
And adds it to the list
She keeps a mental list of things she chooses to ignore.
It's a shame that this girl
The narrator regrets that the idealized girlfriend isn't real.
Doesn't even exist
She's my straight edge girlfriend
Reiteration of her adherence to the straight edge lifestyle.
She's with me all the time
She consistently stands by the narrator.
She's always there to bail me out

When I walk the line
She supports when the narrator struggles to maintain sobriety.
She's my straight edge girlfriend
And I'm so glad that she's mine

Even though she's mad at me

And I'm so glad that she's mine
