lyrics
(chorus)
wouldn't ya say that the best part of being young is meeting other kids on the principle that they are also young? didn't need to come up with some pedantic line of bullshit just to get the time of day from somebody you wanna talk with. and the worst part of growing up is that we're all still little kids just in slightly bigger bodies and downing forty ounce bottles to have fun. and wouldn't ya know that we're more scared now than we ever could have been? can't cultivate fear til you've had some time to live.
now i've always thought the standard conversation was lackluster throwing out the most generic words that you can muster. tell me when the hell did anything unique become taboo and why's it so damn hard to find someone who thinks that too? we don't wanna show our hearts we're all just stuck inside our shells but we paint our shells to draw in more attention to ourselves cause society has taught us that our passions need ignoring so we compete to see which one of us can be more goddamn boring
(chorus)
and if the act of being punk can be defined by drugs or style that make boredom and inactiveness a virtue that's worthwhile then it's just another government to rise up and rebel against i may as well conform before i've gotta change my song again. there once was a time that profile pictures weren't all people knew now the one you may have loved will accidentally swipe past you and the one you may have loved will never ever love herself so online she'll try her hardest to come off as someone else
she'll hit every other party just trying to love her body have a bit too much to drink and then regret it in the morning she'll surround herself with people who can talk for hours and hours about how much they just can't wait to have their kids and baby showers and she'll nod and laugh and say she's off to grab another drink but instead she leaves the party cause she needs some time to think about her time how it's gone by and how much time she may have wasted so she sighs goes back inside with the intent to get shitfaced
