Sleep with all the lights on.
|
You're not so happy.
|
You're not secure.
|
You're dying to look cute in your blue jeans,
|
but you're plastic just like everyone.
|
You're just like everyone.
|
And that face you paint is pressed
|
impressing most of us as permanent
|
and I'd like to see you undone.
|
College night will draw the crowds.
|
Dorms unload & your heading out.
|
Here is your moment to shine.
|
|
Making up a history.
|
It's nothing from the life you lead
|
but man, will they buy all your lines.
|
|
Sleep with all the sheets off
|
bearing your mattress
|
bearing your soul.
|
And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos
|
but you're searching just like everyone
|
could be anyone.
|
And the friends that you have are the best
|
impressing most of us as permanent
|
and I'd like to see you undone.
|
Youth's the most unfaithful mistress.
|
Still we forge ahead to miss her.
|
Rushing our moment to shine.
|
|
Making up a history,
|
It's nothing from the life you lead
|
but man will they buy all your lines.
|
|
We're not twenty-one,
|
but the sooner we are,
|
the sooner the fun will begin,
|
so get out your fake eyelashes,
|
and fake i.d's,
|
& real disasters ensue,
|
it's cool to take these chances.
|
It's cool to fake romances
|
& grow up fast.
