[unnecessary moaning]
Well your favourite holiday is the Fourth of July
It’s like 90 degrees, but reminds you exactly like Christmas
I had a one night stand, but I never kissed her on the bed
And all of my best friends say I’m fucked in the head
And I am calling my parents to say that I’m alive
And I’m apologising for ruining their lives
Well I don’t like working with my friends, I don’t like getting high
But I will do what it takes so I can survive
And I am nothing more than a picture
That is hanging in your room
[x2]
Well I’ve been telling my friends
That I’ve made lots of friends
And I am telling my girlfriend that I love her the same
[x3]
But don’t worry
Because I will grow up
And I will act like him so I don’t have to pretend like I care when you leave
And I will sell out and I will write my songs about a boy and girl who always get along
And I will drop out, and I will tell my friends that I have honors diplomas and I have scholarships
But I will grow up
And I will act like him so I don’t have to pretend like I care when you leave
But when you leave
[x2]
And you were walking down the aisles and I was sitting in the pews
And I was staring at the ceiling because I can’t stare at you
But you were walking down the aisles and I was sitting in the pews
And I was staring at the ceiling because I can’t stare at you
But you’re my best friend, so I will love you til the very, very, end
But you’re my best friend, so I will love you til the very, very, end
The very, very, end
