Grow Up

I can’t wait for the summer nights
all the fucked up fun and the stupid fights
Play guitar on the beach, the sand in my feet
late nights running through the city streets
Gigging with the band, wishing we had fans
yeah it might seem stupid but we never had a chance
Play in a strangers house, and if the police shut us down
we’ll go a few doors down and pretend they never shut us down
When I grow up
I want to play music
If you got a basement man we’ll use it
When I grow up
I wanna be stupid
As long as the police don’t come I’ll do it
I don’t wanna grow up, wanna grow up, I wanna grow up
I don’t wanna grow up, wanna grow up, I wanna grow up
See my favorite bands, avoid stage diving fans
You can’t appreciate the music if you don’t give it a chance
Meet new friends at festivals, one day we will headline them all
We can do it now but (we’re not sellouts)
Moshing till my head is spinning, yelling, jumping, punching, singing
It’s all fun and games until someone gets punched in the face
Go to college drop out of college, find a job at hot topic
The only thing we ever do is disappoint our parents
And now we’re grown up, and everything’s slowed down
We got kids, a house, and student loans now
We don’t get fucked up, we don’t get shut down
We don’t want to grow up now

NJ Diner Love

We were strolling down the street
when a stray dog walked up to me
Except it wasn't a dog it had fangs and claws
you looked at me and said let's get the hell outta Dodge
So we ran for miles until it wasn’t behind us
We high fived in the street and got something to eat
And the waitress was pretty so we tipped generously
And I left my phone number on the receipt
She called me later that night, I said I’ll be over at 9
She opened the door, and insisted I stayed inside
I said “hey cool I’m down, anyway I’m sick of this town.”
She said “man you’re in luck” and she shut me right up
And that’s how I met my New Jersey diner love
She treated me right, I could never get enough
We yell and we fight, but I can’t get tired of
Seeing your face, my NJ diner love
I called the next week and I said something sweet
I said lets go to a show, I knew she wouldn’t say no
So we snuck in the back and we missed the opening acts
You didn’t care but I heard they weren’t that bad
You said, “let’s open a pit,” I said “you aren’t that big”
You said “like I give a fuck, man I’m just having fun”
So we opened a pit and you yelled and you kicked
You got punched in the face by a hate-moshing prick
And your bottom lip was bleeding so we stepped outside
I said “damn you took a beating” you said “nah, I’ll be fine”
So we kissed in the street, I got your blood on my teeth
And we stood outside the venue so I could fight the guy who hit you
After a while you decided
To stop replying to all of my texts
You got too busy and money doesn’t come easy
But that doesn’t mean you can treat me that way
But i still played nice, texted you every night
But you already quit and it didn’t feel right
So I didn’t sleep for a month until you said you wanted to talk
I knew it was over but I still went on that walk
You picked a place to sit and told me this was it
And I didn’t know what to say so I just looked away
And that’s how I lost my NJ Diner love
Se treated me right and I would never be enough
We’d yell and we’d fight and she got tired of
Seeing my face, my NJ diner love

Always Waiting

It’s been 9 months
Since you’ve crossed my mind
Somehow you have the guts
To say, “hi”
It kills me to admit this
But you could never fix this
I’m not your friend
There’s no point to pretend
That you didn’t cut me off
Like your hair and your boyfriend who you don’t even love
And it kills me to admit this
But your attempts to fix things were stupid and selfish
I’m in no position to criticize
But you told me that you’d always be by my side
That I was just like family
I wonder does your mom ever ask about me
And it kills me to admit this
But you could never fix this
You pretend you don’t care but it’s easy to see
You have no self esteem, you are society’s sheep
So take a hit or a drink or whatever it is
That you prefer these days, ‘cuz I’m calling out your bullshit
And it kills me to admit this
But your attempts to fix things were stupid and selfish
1, 2, 3, 4
Yeah it’s been 9 months since the last time we talked
Now I do what I want and I don’t keep in touch
With anyone or anything
That isn’t beneficial and I feel like I king
Without you in my life this is your last song
I’m writing this one out so I know that I’m done
With you and your friends and your idea of having fun
I hope this haunts you every night so I’m not the only one
Every day I get closer to getting further away
From waking up and wishing I was dead
Just stay in bed just get some rest
Just get over yourself man it’s all in your head

Good Enough

I stayed up talking to you all night long
You asked me to play you one more song
I said everything you’d want to hear
But I’m not good enough (I’m not good enough)
It’s been two weeks since I’ve heard your voice
You’ve been hanging out with a lot of boys
The harmonies we’ve made have turned to noise
And I’m not good enough (I’m not good enough)
I try my best not to fall asleep
‘Cause I’m terrified you’ll be inside my dreams
These late nights and movies are destroying me
I liked you better when you were lonely
I miss your lips and your hour long calls
But now you only call when there’s alcohol involved
You used to know the lyrics to all my songs
But you don’t know them anymore (you don’t know them anymore)
Another friday night alone in my room
Wishing I was listening to records with you
Or that you never said that we were through
But I’m not good enough (I’m not good enough)
I like the way you laugh at the stupid shit I do
I’m such a stupid asshole for loving you
I’ll make my gauges smaller and I’ll cover my tattoos
If you want me to (if you want me to)
My problem is that I loved to be loved
Even though I know that I’ll never be enough
I would do anything just to hear you say
“Hey you’re good enough” (yeah you’re good enough).
