She didn't mean to deceive you believe me

But sometimes the hardest part is conceiving

The good intentions that you had

now only came to this

and although she saw the mark the arrow missed



It isn't exciting reciting the stories

Of kind words turned hurting

When routine gets boring

Both getting tired of punk rock clubs

And both playing in punk rock bands

The start was something good

But some good things must end



And she said it could never survive

With such differing lives

One home one out on tour again

We may never come back

The strike of the match

The candle burning at both ends



And now she knows too muchI'm too fucked up

It's awkward trying to make my move

I'll pretend that I'm fine

Show up right on time

But I know I'll never be that cool



I never wanted to hold you back

I just wanted to hold on

But my chance is gone

I know just where I stand

A boy trapped in the body of a man

And I'll take what you're willing to give

And I'll teach myself to live

With a walk-on part of a background shot

from a movie I'm not in



She's so important

and I'm so retarded

And now I realize

i should have kissed you in LA



but I drove home all alone

as if I had a choice anyway

Where are you coming from

What are you running from

is it so hard to see

And if you're feeling scared

remember the time we shared

You know it meant everything (everything)

You know that it meant everything to me

You know that it meant everything to me
