I grew into these bones with both hands stuck in my pockets
Now I'm digging through loose change to find a new frame for your locket
We could be friends
But that would never be enough
Wish I could spend
Every cent left on our love
But I look like a fool again
Bit the hook and left it in
You're taking all I am
But you don't know you're tearing me apart
You said you're sick of this town and that you're drained of inspiration
But I can tell by your eyes that your heart is frail and vacant
We could be friends
But that would never be enough
Wish I could mend
All the wounds that keep you stuck
But I look like a fool again
Bit the hook and left it in
You're taking all I am
But you don't know you're tearing me apart
But I look like a fool again
Bit the hook and left it in
You're taking all I am
But you don't know you're tearing me apart
You're tearing me apart
You're tearing me apart

Well I've been spending damn near all my time
Trying to keep these bloodshot eyes off you
But you've been wearing those cute puppy eyes
That just split my heart in two
And we've been playing dumb games with all our friends
But at least I get to sit with you
And though these games are mundane and growing old
I feel they always end too soon
'Cause I'll take any excuse to spend time with you
I've got a good girl on my mind
And there's nothing here I'd rather do
And I hope that someday you'd be mine
'Cause I've got a big crush on ya
You light up my world
And I would give it to ya
If you'd be my girl
And if you gave me a chance maybe I'd find the words
To melt that cute little heart of yours
'Cause I'll take any excuse to spend time with you
I've got a good girl on my mind
And there's nothing here I'd rather do
And I hope that someday you'd be mine

Well we're five miles out
Chasing tracks down to our fate
Just left home with every dime and smoke you could take
And this rocky path left our shoes worn down
But the morning sun will lead us back to town
But I'm having fun and I don't wanna go home
Cause we've found a place where we can be our own
No stupid clocks or rules that tie us to our bones
We'll dive six feet deep into this muddy lake
In those patched-up jeans you couldn't throw away
But I'm content now with spinning 'round the sun
Cause we've found a place where we can be our own
No stupid clocks or rules that tie us to our bones
How long will it take before we're gone
All our years spent dodging fears went wrong

You've got your hands wrapped tightly
Around the shiny mirror you use to disappear
Cause you wanna get fucked up on your birthday
I've got my friend right beside me
Squirming in a chair trying not to stare
At anything or anybody
I'm waiting for my ride to find the time
So we can dip out and never look back
But as time persists our cars blocked in
And I can't find a way out, fuck
Let's take this night back
Back to where it started
Cause I'm tensing up around all your new friends
And I've had enough
Don't want your drugs
Just a one-way ticket out
Won't stick around to watch you drown again

I've got a six-pack waiting for my ass to get off work
It's been a shitty day let's ditch our brains and game until we're burnt out
Now we're stuck to the couch with food in our mouths
Waiting for a good excuse to go out
Living on pizza rolls and ramen
Drinking cheap booze from the store
I've got a bad habit of buying shit I know I can't afford
And I'm so unsure of what my future has in store
Guess I'll wait it out 'til it's on sale or they ship it to the door
Take a step back 'cause we're ankle-deep in trash
I'm a rat stuck in his nest
Fighting for the scraps you leave by your door

Well I wake up as the sun starts to set
Rub my eyes and forget your stupid calls
Stop blowing-up my phone
I'll crawl out of these sheets to hangout
With the only friends left in town
I'm growing bored and need something to do
But it's alright
We're passing time
Listening to old CD's in your car
And we'll stay out
Until we've found
A place where we can be our own again
Now we're piss drunk driving in the backyard,
Smoking in my friends car
Our burning lungs are coughing up a storm
I'm spun out looking up at the stars
Waiting for this bruised heart
To cut it's ties with the fists that beat it up
But it's alright
We're passing time
Listening to old CD's in your car
And we'll stay out
Until we've found
A place where we can be our own again
And we'll spend our nights
Hopping fences to the pool
Skipping classes in the school we hate
And we'll count down the years to get out
But will we get out in time

I'm running on a few bucks and good luck to get us through the state
Our ride just broke down we're out of town
With nowhere left to stay
If I could get this damn van started
Swear I'll never use the brakes again
It's cold as shit and this old car scent is anything but pleasant
Now we're on our way back home
I've got my best friend in the front seat and the van back on the road
Guess things would be different if we missed out on a show
But I'll trade efficient trips for sick mosh pits anytime you wanna go
'Cause we're happy here left our worries at the door
Nothing left to fear I'm not hiding anymore
Won't waste my time
Or live a life I can't endure
Don't care what they say
I know what I'm living for
Take me back to sweat-soaked floors
Grimy bathrooms with invisible doors
Smell the stale beer and cigarettes you stole from the store
Got a shit job at home that I don't want anymore
I don't want anymore
I don't want anymore
I don't want anymore
I don't want anymore

I know you've got your arms tied
With all your problems hanging 'round your neck
Lately you've had it so rough
You've had to face this on your own
But I hope you know
That you'll make it through
As long as you keep that head up
And it never helps to beat up yourself
Over things you know you can't control
But I'll say it again these wounds take time to mend
But even scars don't make you bulletproof
And your eyes light up the world
You'll always be my friend
But even friends need time on their own
But I'll say it again these wounds take time to mend
But even scars don't make you bulletproof
And your eyes light up the world
You'll always be my friend
But even friends need time on their own

Can you hear me
Am I making any sense
Do the words I speak hit you deep
Or do they blend in with the rest
You have lived tied to your shoes
But those knots are growing tight
And now it's time to cut them loose
But I can't wait around for you all of my life
Pack your life in those old bags
And hope the engine stalls to say goodbye before this ends
Time catches up to us all
Did you spend it paying off your debt
Or did you spend it all the mall
But I will love you until the day I die
