| Thinkin' bout four summers ago
|
| Driving down quiet back roads
|
| In south jersey
|
| I was stinking of lake water and snack bar grease
|
| Listened to «September Gurls»
|
| And hoped the school year would be different
|
| Didn’t wanna be a Big Star
|
| But didn’t wanna be a small fry either, no
|
| Oh oh oh oh
|
| Didn’t wanna be a weenie any more
|
| Coffee at the kitchen table
|
| You’ll join me two hours later
|
| I’ll be sitting in front of a blank page in my notebook
|
| Been reading through modern poetry
|
| I just dont understand these images
|
| Why’s this beauty blocked from me?
|
| Well, I know I know certain things:
|
| I know uncertainty
|
| I know every last freakin' thing 'bout hyperbole
|
| I know someone knows the weather
|
| Doesn’t matter I always pack an extra sweater
|
| Bad jokes make me happy
|
| Put my laundry in the dryer two days later
|
| Turn it on high and forget it
|
| It catches on fire
|
| I want to throw the appliance out the window
|
| Of my third floor apartment
|
| But I can’t lift it so I spit on it
|
| Sip homemade lemonade in my dreams
|
| Cause I’ve yet to make any
|
| Not too much sugar, I like the sour and sting
|
| Dump iced tea on my head
|
| In here I’m burning up, I’m unraveling
|
| Kick off my shoes, come with me, we’ll swim through
|
| Through these sweat-stained sheets
|
| Crack open another can of beans
|
| Cheers to friends we’ve yet to meet
|
| I’ll pray they forgive my reclusive tendencies
|
| We’ve all got so much strange to give |
