Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Katie kept the list of times
Now that she had really done it, done it
So we swarmed like flies
Pretending how we weren't terrified
[Verse 2]
Till we snuck out that night
Rolled a Chrysler down the drive
But once we were inside
Couldn't figure out where we were off to
[Verse 3]
That was before we had made
Any terrible mistakes
[Verse 4]
But that's just teenage talk
Pinky swear like you won't go changing
Drank so much that night
Carved the state of Texas in our forearms
[Verse 5]
You know I never loved you more
Than when we were hiding from those sirens, sirens
Oh, we laughed so hard
Threw up in your mothers azaleas
[Verse 6]
That was before we had made
Any terrible mistakes
That was before we had made
Any terrible mistakes
[Verse 7]
That's just teenage talk
I don't think the past is better, better
Just 'cause it's cased in glass
Protecting us from our now and later
[Verse 8]
You know I never loved you more
Than when we were hiding from those sirens, sirens
Drank so much that night
Carved the state of Texas in our forearms
[Verse 9]
How do you see me now?
Now that I'm a little bit older, older?
Now remind my albatross
Smoldering on my shoulder, shoulder, shoulder, shoulder
