    LYRICS
    So go on
    And I will refrain
    And I'll keep on running this neverending race
    maybe next time will be the right time
    and maybe next time will be your time
    So save your scissors
    For someone else's skin
    My surface is so tough
    I don't think the blade will dig in
    Save your strength
    Save your wasted time
    There's no way that I want you to be left behind
    Go on save your scissors
    Save your scissors
    So why does it always seem
    That every time I turn around
    Somebody falls in love with me?
    This has never been my sole intention
    And I have never claimed to have patents on such inventions
    Just save your scissors
    For someone else's skin
    My surface is so tough
    I don't think the blade will dig in
    Save your strength
    Save your wasted time
    There's no way that I want you to be left behind
    Go on save your scissors
    Save your scissors
    There is something that I must confess to you tonight
    To you tonight
    And that is I expect nothing less from you tonight
    From you tonight
    Go on save your scissors
    Save your scissors
    Save your scissors

    The fact that this song doesn’t even have 1M views in over 15 years is a crime. It’s a masterpiece. Forever nostalgic.

    Brings me back to my first love in high school, her mother hated my guts because I had a mischief charge on my record which she easily found given she was a police officer. She moved them 3 provinces away just to keep me away from her. I still think about her all the time, this was grade 9 and I'm 29 now; I have never loved someone the way I loved her since.

    Heard this somewhere, either on the radio or on Much Music, as a youuuuuung child. Couldn't remember the lyrics or anything, just an angelic voice and "leave it all behind". For the last +10 years ive been trying to find Mobile's minor hit "Out of my head" and THIS song, feels so good to have found it finally

      Depends where you live. I live on the West Coast (I am from Alberta originally) and we almost never get snow. Once in awhile we get a light dusting for a couple days, and it's hilarious how bad it fucks up everybody's life. Nobody knows how to drive, shovel, or generally survive in snow, because it's so foreign to us over here :P
