lyrics

STUPID SONGS
I was sitting in my room playing video games,
turned the radio on and heard "Basket Case".
Me and my friends wanted to start a band,
but we weren't that good with our instruments.
I picked up my guitar and wrote a stupid song,
about a silly girl who broke my heart.
Made a crappy flyer with paper and pens,
for a basement show we played for only our friends.

I was getting sick of lockers pressed against my cheeks,
so I wrote some new songs and learned how to speak.
I'm an invisible guy who can't disappear,
but I'm still playing the chords you don't want to hear.
I've broken some strings and I've made great friends,
while wiping clean tables with dirty rags.
I'm cleaning my locker of words left unsaid,
but I'll always have those songs stuck in my head.

I know someday I'm gonna get the hell out of here
I'm a suburban step off beat, but I can't go another year

(Chorus)
I know I can't see straight,
But this whole damn world keeps tugging on my strings again
And I keep crawling back to you.
This town has put me in my place,
And I know someday I'll get back on my feet again
But I keep crawling back to you

We were sitting on your roof singing our favorite songs
While choking on words trying to clear our lungs
We watched "Freaks and Geeks" in your living room
and tried to gain perspective about our youth
You've been losing your touch through a daily trend
while I'm on 57 North touring with my friends
Still holding onto reoccurring high school dreams
where I never kept up with the other black sheep

I know someday I'm gonna get the hell out of here
I'm a suburban step off beat, but I can't go another year

(Chorus)

Some of my friends went off to college,
and got a job they never wanted
Some of my friends dropped out of college,
and couldn't finish what they started.
