A rubber band is what I call your love for me Cause it comes and goes and pins me like a trampoline But all this back and forth is freaky, it's confusing me Like a pencil trying to write and you're erasing me If I was a ruler I'd set you straight But your love is like a sharpener, it really grates Cause once I'm trying to bounce, you pull me back And when I try to come to you, you give me slack Your love is pulling like a rubber band Your love is pulling like a rubber band Elastic love, everlastic love Ever lusting love, such a spastic love Elastic love, everlastic love Ever lusting love, such a spastic love La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la A rubber band was an analogy You can even say it's a metaphor The tension between you and me I ain't gonna feel it if you let it go I can take a little bit and make it more A little bit of hate can make it war But a lot of love ain't enough And so, I don't really know how we find the cure
