Superchunk - Why Do You Have To Put A Date On Everything Lyrics

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 fringe catches the first time
Make sure the flame catches the first time

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 place and I'll keep the rest

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?

Why do you have to put a date?
Can't you just strike the bell
Thought that your skin would crack
Why do you have to put a date on everything?
