Lyrics of the evening, favourite weapon of choice....

And I'm sick of your tattoos
and the way you always criticize the Smiths.
and Morrissey.
And I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic.
But when I say let's keep in touch,
I really mean I wish that you'd grow up.
This is the first song for your mix tape.
It's short just like your temper,
But somewhat golden like the afternoons
We used to spend before you got too cool.

You and me were kings over the
parkway tonight
And tonight will go on forever
while we walk around this town
like we own the streets
and stay awake through summer
like we own the heat
Singing "everybody wake up(wake
up)it's time to get down"

And when I pass the bottle back
to Pete on the overpass tonight,
I bet we laugh

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever
(cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever
(sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party
(this offer stands forever)
cause we keep them going constantly
And we'll never have to listen
(new haircut)
to anyone about anything
(new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and
it's all been said
(eyeliner)
we're the coolest kids and we
take what we can get
(wait forever)

Just jealous cause we're
young and in love
You're just jealous cause
we're young and in love

So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids
Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
and again when your head goes through the windshield

Is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
So let's end this call and end this conversation
And is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say "best friends" means friends forever

Is that what you call a getaway?!!
Tell me what you got away with!!
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish!!
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids!!
Have another drink and drive yourself home!!
I hope there's ice on all the roads!!
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
then when your head goes through the windshield!!


So I update this almost every single day for you
I begin to hate you for your face and not just the things you do
Go tell him how my wrist is sore
from pulling at your insides all night
Nothing that you do is new to anything or anyone but you.....
