Peggy Sue is a song about teenage rebellion from Tom’s point of view. During the song, he is speaking from experience and expresses sympathy to the listener who can relate.
He mainly talks about times when someone is getting talked to by their parents about their future and getting yelled at.
[Verse 1]
I know what it's like to be alone sitting in your room
Listening to all the doubts that your parents have to say to you
And as your head gets all cluttered inside
Try to stay awake
Everything they say are lies
That's all the shit that you ever have to take
[Chorus]
So hold in all your aggressions
Because you're grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin
It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at everything they say that
They tell you what to be, you're not alone
[Verse 2]
I know what it's like to be denied at everything you do
It's not the same reason why that
Makes you change the things that you once knew
As your head gets all cluttered inside
Give more than you take
Everything they say are lies
That's all the shit that you ever have to take
[Chorus]
So hold in all your aggressions
Because you're grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin
It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at everything they say that
They tell you what to be, you're not alone
[Bridge]
You say you want to take off your shoes as you
Walk barefoot down the street
Just to be the things that you can be
Just live for one more week (Go!)
You say you want to take off your shoes as you
Walk barefoot down the street
Just to be the things that you can be
Just live for one more week
[Chorus]
So hold in all your aggressions
Because you're grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin
It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at every word they say that
They tell you what to be, you're not alone
