Brendan B. Brown described this song during the band’s 2023 Mercury Lounge show as speaking on how “the old and experienced should never take advantage of the young/unexperienced”.
Josephine dont be mean I wasn't trying to-
Josephine dont be mean I wasn't trying to-
You will bear the scars of this dark time forever
You will hear that survival is some glorious endeavour
But you're fourteen (yeah you're fourteen)
And they're so mean (yeah they're so mean)
I don't think it's your fault, oh baby
I don't think it's your fault, oh
When they say they won't help you through it, its just because they can't
When they're trying to hurt you baby, well that's because they can
Yeah you're fourteen (yeah you're fourteen)
And they're so mean (yeah they're so mean)
I don't think it's your fault, oh baby
I don't think it's your fault, oh
Josephine dont be mean I wasn't trying to let you down
Josephine dont be mean I wasn't trying to let you down
Josephine dont be mean I wasn't trying to let you down
Josephine dont be mean I wasn't trying to let you down
Little girl, you wanna know someone you look up to?
Careful what you wish for
You might end up burying me
Little girl, you wanna know someone you look up to?
Careful what you wish for
You might end up burying me
Little girl, you wanna know someone you look up to?
Careful what you wish for
You might end up burying me
Little girl, you wanna know someone you look up to?
Careful what you wish for
You might end up burying me
Little girl, you wanna know someone you look up to?
Careful what you wish for
You might end up burying me
