Kill Your parents Drop school Quit your job Start a band Spill Your wine into my bed Oh wow, Things are out of hand Runnin’ scared Who fuckin’ cares? I’m too shy When it comes to goodbye Oh, when I was a kid I thought not what I did ‘Til it came ‘round And out of control again Every now and then I felt satisfied Guess what? Turned out I lied Oh, when I was a kid Oh, when I was a kid Write Your name onto his chair So he’ll never forget Bite Her back so fucking hard That you both start to sweat Runnin’ scared Who fuckin’ cares? I’m too shy When it comes to goodbye Oh, when I was a kid I thought not what I did ‘Til it came ‘round And out of control again Every now and then I felt satisfied Guess what? Turned out I lied Oh, when I was a kid Oh, when I was a kid The anthems among All our friends Were on my tongue Until the end Oh, when I was a kid I thought not what I did ‘Til it came ‘round And out of control again Every now and then I felt satisfied Guess what? Turned out I lied Oh, when I was a kid (When I was a kid) I thought not what I did (When I was a kid) Oh, when I was a kid (When I was a kid) Oh, when I was a kid (When I was a kid) Oh, when I was a kid (When I was a kid) I thought not what I did (When I was a kid) I didn’t give a shit (When I was a kid) Oh, when I was a kid (When I was a kid) Oh, when I was a kid (When I was a kid) Oh, when I was a kid

Mess You Up 04:04
Your tongue’s on mine, you pull away Wait For that same shit on a different day Late One night you told me ‘bout everything Sing Praises of some guy who means nothing Sting Optimistic Hopes still dashed Realistic Tears are stashed I heard you’re flirting with the line cook And you’ve got him baited on your hook But if you’re trying to trick me Then can’t we make this easy? And I I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up Whoa Carry your books and your laundry Flee The scenes of where you two tend to be Three Weeks have passed without any contact Stacked Against the odds of who you attract Subtract Optimistic Hopes still dashed Realistic Tears are stashed I heard you’re flirting with the line cook And you’ve got him baited on your hook But if you’re trying to trick me Then can’t we make this easy? And I I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up Whoa I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up I won’t try to mess you up Whoa

You’ve been feeding me these little lies You’ve been swallowin’ up all my pride I been thinkin’ ‘bout you way too long For worse or better and right or wrong Now you know where I have been Now you know where I have been But I would never give up I would never give up I would never give up Give up I would never give up Use it all the time, it’s never there Don’t you tell me what you deemed unfair Dig your heels into the ground I’m sick of wishing you were still around Now you know where I have been Now you know where I have been But I would never give up I would never give up I would never give up Give up I would never give up How do I decide Where my heart resides? How do I decide Where my heart resides? I would never give up I would never give up I would never give up Give up Give up I would never give up I would never give up I would never give up I would never give up Give up Give up Give up Give up I would never give up

Maybe I Knew 05:47
Maybe I knew A long time ago When you spoke, you weren’t lying And maybe I knew When you let me go But can you blame me for trying? And maybe I knew It was all built up By a head that likes daydreams And maybe I knew That my heart filled up After checking on the seams Imitate what we’re told And state That we’re old You are Beautiful And I can’t Tell you All about it You are Beautiful And I can’t Tell you All about it Maybe I knew It was pageantry But I still wanna float And maybe I knew I couldn’t climb a tree But I still put on my coat And maybe I knew Silence suggested There was never magic dust And maybe I knew This reflected Through the dirt and through the rust Imitate what we’re told And state That we’re old You are Beautiful And I can’t Tell you All about it You are Beautiful And I can’t Tell you All about it I’d Do Anything to fix this for you I’d Do Anything to fix this for you You are Beautiful And I can’t Tell you All about it You are Beautiful And I can’t Tell you All about it You are Beautiful And I can’t Tell you All about it You are Beautiful And I can’t Tell you All about it

Here you were making a plan For the demolition of her life Can’t help wonder what Your intent was (Your intent was) Thinking only of himself He was gone before she even said a word She took on the strength of two You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No Thinking to herself, it’s just Me and you, kid Nowhere else to go but This direction (This direction) As if this weren’t even enough A change of surroundings Still stuck with the fact that she still loves You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No You Were Never around Never around No

I don’t wanna be the one who has to let you down If you’re the one who’s always wearing the crown Breaking our bodies every single day Glued to the ground and now we have to stay I won’t go back Still can’t go back I won’t go back I can’t go back Get out of the way ‘cause I’m meeting the moon And I maybe dumb, but I’m no one’s fool Crystal bright, never been so clear Swallowed by daylight, it disappears Miles away, written by design Serves as proof of the divine I won’t go back Still can’t go back I won’t go back I can’t go back Get out of the way ‘cause I’m meeting the moon And I maybe dumb, but I’m no one’s fool Get out of the way ‘cause I’m meeting the moon And I maybe dumb, but I’m not your fool If I can’t get any closer than Reaching for it in my dreams again I will stay here, sky gazing instead Wondering if I’m better off dead Get out of the way ‘cause I’m meeting the moon And I maybe dumb, but I’m no one’s fool Get out of the way ‘cause I’m meeting the moon And I maybe dumb, but I’m not your fool Get out of the way ‘cause I’m meeting the moon And I maybe dumb, but I’m no one’s fool Get out of the way ‘cause I’m meeting the moon And I maybe dumb, but I’m not your fool
