lyrics

I’m back from dinner
what can I say
I never wanted it to be this way

the house that my grandfather built
wasn’t built on the shinning city upon a hill

the times, oh they may change
but there are those who don’t want to know

to know that anything other than what they know
shows them that they don’t really know
and since we’re here and then we go
they’re afraid and they need control
well, go ahead be afraid and be controlled
but don’t you dare tell me I should save my soul
I accept that I don’t know
I don’t want to lie

Patrick’s coming
he’s 10 minutes away
I can cry all night
or make my father pay

go get drunk
make out with a pretty boy
do anything I can to feel
some life, some joy

the times, oh they have changed
I’m not one of those who don’t want to know
I want to know more
more than what I know
I know I don’t know

as a cover of Kiss Me Alot starts to play
I make eyes with Patrick’s friend
I don’t want this feeling to end
I want to live before I’m dead

a knight in shining armor
cloudy secondhand smoke
in a basement full of bodies
a drugstore Romeo

two lost little lambs
mouthwatering lips
so sexy and sheepish
starting with a single pomegranate kiss
is bliss then, such an abyss

a blue-eyed Boston boy
a big baseball butt
bananas, Bunny Bread
he’s something you just want to touch

so much sexual shame
missing muscle memory
and it’s all just something closer
to a more personal pornography

possible pictures being posted
a fearful God above
losing everything you love
for something less than love
it’s Peter Pan Peanut Butter
just a means to an end
two little, lost boys
who end up leaving Neverland
who will go on living
living limited lifespans

a person’s rightful due is to be treated as an object of love
not as an object for you

it’s going to be a long walk home
what have I done
why did this go wrong
I made the man I made out with cry why
why
why
why
I don’t know why
