Though easy to misinterpret as a straight-forward, bitter break-up song, ‘97 was actually written by Matt Skiba about being on probation and not being able to smoke pot for eighteen months.
[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
I've got it now, a thorn in my side the size of a Cadillac
Drive it through 'cause backing up now would be next to impossible
I had it all, when I was with you I forgot about everything
Eighteen months, eighteen months seems like fucking eternity
[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
But you'll be there to dry my eyes
When I breathe you in in '97, in '97
[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
I've got it now, like a thorn in my side the size of a Cadillac
Drive it through 'cause backing up now would be next to impossible
I had it all, when I was with you I forgot about everything
Eighteen months, I won't breathe for eighteen months
[Refrain: Matt Skiba]
I don't deserve this, I don't deserve this
I don't deserve this, no, I don't deserve this
I don't deserve this, no, I don't deserve this
I don't deserve this, no, I don't deserve this
No, I don't deserve this, no, I don't deserve this, no
