Well your parents said it’s cool if we sleep in your room

And I am laying on your bed

Your friends are sleeping through the windows

Take my hand and close your eyes with broken knees and glazed up eyes

I think that we can steal a car if everything falls into place

Well I am here again in all these bullshit shows

With all my dumbest friends who think it’s cool to smoke

Well I am staring at the ground

I was counting all my toes

Because the kid who fucked me I think that he will slit my throat


[Chorus]

But I was nothing more than a tire swing

And this was nothing more than a high school thing

And you were nothing more than a tire swing

And this was nothing more than a high school thing, oh

And I am running through the yard

I was jumping over fences

There is dirt in both my eyes

Because your brother threw me down

And I was sprinting down the street

I think I’d broken both my legs

But I’ve been climbing up this tree so I can get the fuck away

And I am here again

Locked up inside my room

With all my asshole friends

Sit back, enjoy the view

And I am staring at the wall

I am painting my own picture

One where I don’t move away and say “Oh, God, yeah, do I miss her,”


[Chorus]
