Spent so much time In the back of the office on a company line And you're still waking up at noon And since we fell apart I feel broken I feel brand new When I'm out there And you're still stuck here Biding time in the town we grew up in It's clear, all the ghosts you fear Disguise themselves inside cheap bottles I just can't believe All the kids from high school that didn't leave Are wearing out this downtown scene Prom King and Queen are the hometown deadbeats I don't wanna grow up And I don't wanna waste any of my luck I'm not putting up with it I f**ing hate this sh** Lately I've been Looking our through old photographs In the box of them under my bed And I Never cared
To make those moments last But now I can't keep them outta my head I've finally dealt with my mom's d**h And I'm feeling better about Being the son of an angry man Yeah I do what I can To take my place in the back of the van But I just can't believe That you're f**ing anchored at the knees Like the weight of the world is bound to your feet Are you waiting for a sign or anything? I guess I could find my own apartment on the west end of town Get a real job and quiet down I could sell all my sh** and sweat the rent Spend my best years in discontent Is that what you wanted for me? I think I'm talking to a ghost All painted up like a person I used to know
