LYRICS
All the girls pose the same for pictures

All the boys got the same girls’ hair

I am bored ‘cause I feel much older

Look at me, as if I’ve got a reason to stare

But you talk so loud
that it calms me down

You’re crying “let’s make a toast”
She says she’s leaving on a Sunday
That leaves me one more night
Can I take you home?
I know it’s wrong

but I know your type
She says she’s leaving on a Sunday

and I don’t care

I need to know where to turn

I tried it once

It never caught on
I was the only one who got burned

I’ve read every word you’ve said

From a poster of a cat

Four books look across your sofa
I thought your coffee table
was more clever then that
It gets worse once we get to her room
as she stops and she sings
“doot do do doot do do doot do”

I claim “new religion” is my song

She doesn’t get it

It’s all before she was born
And you lock your doors
Like I’ve been here before

I feel like I’ve seen a ghost
Suddenly between sheets and eyelids

I am reminded why I don’t do this
I fall in love far too quickly

I never want her to forget me
When you’re gone
Will you call?

Will you write?
