And this is how it starts
Take your shoes off in the back of my van
Yeah my shirt looks so good,
When it's just hanging off your back
And she said, "Use your hands and my spare time—
We've got one thing in common, it's this tongue of mine."
She said
She's got a boyfriend anyway
there's only minutes before I drop you off
All we seem to do is talk about sex
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
I loved your friend when I saw his film
He's got a funny face
But I like that 'cause he still looks cool
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
Now we're on the bed in my room
And I'm about to fill his shoes
But you say no
You say no
Does he take care of you
Or could I easily fill his shoes?
But you say no
You say no
And now we're just outside of town
And you're making your way down
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
And I'm not trying to stop you love
If we're gonna do anything we might as well just fuck
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
You've got your tongue pierced anyway
You're in your high tops any day
You're in your skinny jeans anyway
You and your fit friends anyway
I'd take them all out any day
They've all got backcombs anyway
You've all got boyfriends anyway
Sex covers infidelity from the same point of view as Is There Somewhere, from the eyes of the hopelessly falling single person. Through repetition, idioms and tone, this song tells a story of a girl in a relationship set in conflict. The phrase, “she’s got a boyfriend anyway” is repeated throughout the song almost as a personal motto of the speaker. It’s used in attempts to discourage the speaker from romantically engaging with this girl, however its efforts seem futile. The idiom of “filling someone else’s shoes” doesn’t literally mean to put on their shoes, but to be in their place. It is used in this song to say that the speaker is getting closer to this girl and is about to take her boyfriend’s place in her heart and by her side. However, she is quick to bat away these feelings with a harsh “no” This heightens the speaker’s blatant frustration with the subject of his affection, represented from his tone. The words are spat unhappily, sounding something like an angry thought filled voicemail recorded out of spite. The phrase “I’m not trying to stop you, love” is said in an almost patronizing way, saying that he’s not trying to stop her from returning to her boyfriend, but clearly implying he’ll be unhappy if she does. Unlike Is There Somewhere, this song covers almost the exact same situation but with a completely different outlook.
