Lyrics:
When I was eight I was sure I was growing nerves
Like steel in my palm
Make a map of what you see, direct pain effectively
I was eight, I was sure I was growing pains
Like lead in my feet
S.O.S. to my mother, take the hinges off the door
S.O.S. to my mother, take the hinges off the door
Oh, oh, sugar spell it out
Like oh, oh, sugar spell it out
Like oh, oh, sugar spell it out
Like O, like H, in your gut
Like O, like H, in your gut
Like O, like H, in your gut
Like O, like H, in your gut
In your gut
In your (S.O.S.)
(S.O.S.)
When I was four plus a ten, I was swinging fists
Like nails in a board
Pull your hands inside of you, six years till I'll be through
I was four plus a ten, I was swinging back
Like a race to be sure
(S.O.S.) S.O.S. to my mother, take the hinges off the door
(S.O.S.) S.O.S. to my mother, take the hinges off the door
Oh (Oh) Oh (Oh) Sugar spell it out
Like oh (Oh) Oh (Oh) Sugar spell it out
Like oh (Oh) Oh (Oh) Sugar spell it out
Like oh
Like O, like H, in your gut
Like O, like H, in your gut
Like O, like H, in your gut (S.O.S.)
Like O, like H, in your gut (S.O.S.)
In your gut (S.O.S.)
In your gut (S.O.S.)
In your

Trivia and Quotes:
The song was originally titled SOS.
“I was a happy kid and there isn’t a sad, sad story to tell. But our parents got divorced when we were five, and I think I had a lot of anxiety when I was kid. I worried that I was sick a lot… So, the first part of the song definitely is about me being a bit of a troubled kid, worried and anxious about things. But a lot of that was inside, like how I imagined myself when I was a little kid, ‘cause I know that a lot of people didn’t see me like that. And then, as a teenager I was a brat, for sure. We grew up in a tough neighborhood, and we sort of took on a lot of that attitude that comes with being around a lot of tough kids. I don’t think we were bad, but definitely in junior high and highschool… The second part of the song is about that time in my life.” - Sara
