lyrics

In case you thought this life would be an easy gig,
You were sorely mistaken
Despite what was taught, all the kids are still hung over
From summer vacation

Now all your mates prefer polite conversation
And won’t talk about her
But cleaning slates ain’t as easy as clickin’
Refresh on a browser

And so we walk on pins to not upset a time bomb
Or worse yet, create one
They say that no emotion could ever be wrong
Unless you offend someone.
Just play along

But you’re scared
Cause’ the thoughts that knocked em’ dead
They creep into your head
Every once in a while
Uh-oh

An attempt at a dark stab
Might land you in rehab
But you’ll leave with a smile

And I don’t care how you get by
Just stay alive with me

I can’t say I’ve been there too, or lie that
I know what you’re feeling
And is it right
That there’s a void inside of me
While my friends are reeling?

And I’m no rock as you can see
But if you wanna talk to me
Baby here’s my number

And so, we walk on pins to not upset a time bomb
Or worse yet, create one
They say that no emotion could be wrong
Unless you offend someone, just play along with me
