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, 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 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 Paper clips, they couldn't even hold us together Paper clips, they couldn't even hold us together Paper clips, they couldn't even hold us together If we were gaffer tape maybe we could spend the summer You could say your piece, you could post it on a paper When your love hits, it sticks me like a stapler 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 Elastic love, everlastic love Ever lusting love, such a spastic love Elastic love, everlastic love Ever lusting love, such a spastic love
