Sid and Nancy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lately I've been looking in all the wrong places
Hoping maybe I'll win at hide and seek
Behind the corner I'll find my scarlet letter
When does it get better?

[Verse 2]
Think his name is Tyler
His mom goes to my church and
Tells me to call her, even gave me her number
Come over for dinner so we can sneak away
But you brought a girl

[Chorus]
So I'm still waiting, come ignite me
'Cause that's all that I'm looking for
I need a pyromaniac
I wanna burn like California
I even want the hеartbreak
Drain the blood out of my veins
I'm craving Sid and Nancy
But no onе wants me that badly

[Verse 3]
I frequent the bookstore
I blindly browse the shelves and
Pray for a suitor who needs me more than breathing
Lots of room upstairs whoever needs a place to rent
[Chorus]
But I'm still waiting for you to come ignite me
'Cause that's all that I'm looking for
I need a pyromaniac
I wanna burn like California
I even want the heartbreak
Drain the blood out of my veins
I'm craving Sid and Nancy
But no one wants me that badly

[Bridge]
I want the desperation
I want can't live without me
Even just for a minute
Just want someone to need me
Want you to call me crazy
And tell me that it's too late
Wanna cry till my eyes bleed

[Chorus]
Oh, someone come ignite me
'Cause that's all that I'm looking for
I need a pyromaniac
I wanna burn like California
I even want the heartbreak
Drain the blood out of my veins
I'm craving Sid and Nancy
But no one wants me that badly
[Outro]
Badly, badly, badly
Badly, badly, badly, badly
Badly, badly, badly, badly
Badly, badly, badly, badly

Genius Answer

When I wrote “Sid and Nancy,” the only thing I knew about love was that I wanted it. The intention with this song was not to romanticize a toxic relationship like the one Sid and Nancy had, but to use that as a metaphor for that obsessive, can’t live without each other type of love that I was desperately seeking during a certain time.
