Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She didn't mean to deceive you, believe me
But sometimes the hardest part is conceiving
[Verse 2]
The good intentions that you had
Now only came to this
And although she saw the mark
The arrow missed
[Verse 3]
It isn't exciting reciting the stories
Of kind words turned hurting
When routine gets boring
[Verse 4]
Both getting tired of punk rock clubs
And both playing in punk rock bands
The start was something good
But some good things must end
[Verse 5]
And she said
"It could never survive with such differing lives
One home, one out on tour again
We may never come back
The strike of a match
The candle's burning at both ends"
[Verse 6]
And now she knows too much
And I'm too fucked up
It's awkward trying to make my move
I'll pretend that I'm fine
Show up right on time
But I know I'll never be that cool
[Verse 7]
I never wanted to hold you back
I just wanted to hold on
But my chance is gone
[Verse 8]
I know just where I stand
A boy trapped in the body of a man, and
I'll take what you're willing to give
And I'll teach myself to live
With a walk on part of a background shot
From a movie I'm not in
[Verse 9]
She's so important
And I'm so retarded
[Verse 10]
And now I realize
I should have kissed you in LA
But I drove home all alone
As if I had a choice anyway
Where are you coming from?
What are you running from?
Is it so hard to see?
[Verse 11]
And if you're feeling scared
Remember the time we shared
You know it meant everything (Everything)
You know that it meant everything to me
[Verse 12]
You know that it meant everything to me
