The Swiss Army Romance
Sleep with all the lights on.
You're not so happy. You're not secure.
Dying to look cute in your blue jeans.
But you're plastic just like everyone, just like everyone.
And that face you paint is pressed
Impressing most of us as permanance.
And I'd like to see you undone.
And college night will draw the crowds.
Dorms unloading, you're heading out.
Here is your moment to shine.
Making up a history. Its nothing from the life you lead.
But man, they will buy all your lines.
Sleep with all the sheets off.
Bearing your mattress, bearing your soul.
Dying to look smooth with your tattoos.
But you're searching just like everyone, could be anyone.
And those friends you have are the best.
Impressing most of us as permanance.
Well I'd like to see you undone.
Youth's the most unfaithful mistress.
Still we forge ahead to miss her.
Rushing our moment to shine.
Making up a history. Its nothing from the life you lead.
But man, will they buy all your lines.
We're not 21, but the sooner the fun will begin.
So get out your fake eyelashes, and fake i.d.'s, and read distasters.
Ensue. Its cool to take these chances.
Its cool to fake romances.
And grow up fast. And grow up fast.
And grow up fast. And grow up fast.
