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 get 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 a match

The candle's buring at both ends."



And now she knows too much

And i'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 l.a.

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
