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 a match
The candle's burning 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'll 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 mean everything (everything)
You know that it meant everything to me

You know that it meant everything to me
