He Left You For A Punk Rock Girl

He said he met her in art class, he's such an art fag
He was your date for Modest Mouse but now you're going stag
It seems they both like all those stupid same little punk rock groups, right?
What happens when the bands slow down as they all eventually do?
(Still remember)
He'll remember how your lip ring sparkled
(Still remember)
And he'll remember the time you had your hair dyed charcoal
For Halloween so you could dress up like Meg from The Family Guy
It's him that's not good enough if you were to ask I

So he left you for a punk rock girl
(When he could have anyone else)
Everything’s gonna be fine
But if he's fucking that punk rock girl
(He's really only fucking himself)
Whenever you mind, alright

He rode his skateboard but he barely ever rode you
And boarding's cool and all, but you needed attention too
Went out and bought a new pink jacket just to try to catch his eye
And I hear it looks awesome, but save it for another guy
(One that appreciates)
One that appreciates all you've got to offer
(One that appreciates)
Maybe one that has the same morals as you
He didn't want to get married and that's his prerogative
But listen to what I'm saying, ‘cause it's imperative

He left you for a punk rock girl
(When he could have anyone else)
Anyone else, it’s gonna be fine
If he's fucking that punk rock girl
(He's really only fucking himself)
Here’s a few more lines

College is the time for us to experiment
And I know he hurt you, but I doubt that's what he meant
He needs to try out girls and boys and marionettes
One day you are gonna move to New York, New York

And he left you for a punk rock girl
(When he could have anyone else)
It’s all gonna work out, and be just fine
If he's fucking that punk rock girl
(He's really only fucking himself)
So don’t change your mind!

He left you for a punk rock girl, after all
(When he could have anyone else)
And you turned off the light
And if he’s fucking that punk rock girl
(He’s really only fucking himself)
After all this time? Well, who woulda thought?
But he left you for a punk rock girl
(When he could have anyone else)
Anyone else, it’s gonna be alright
If he’s fucking that punk rock girl
(He’s really only fucking himself)
Could someone reach the light?
