lyrics

I want to see the town
I want to see what makes it go round
I want to see the world
I want to date every girl
And ask them what drives them insane

What a way to end this year
Somehow we played strip poker
You didn't get to me
But I wish you the best

I want to go and start my band
So after this I'll head down south
I'll be coming in swinging
For lyrics worth singing and say

I underestimated tonight
It's pretty good, it's pretty good
But nowhere near the best
I'm always feeling stessed
So lets hide ourselves and build our walls
But I'll tear them down for now
I think I've figured it out
We're growing up.
I know We're not in parkside anymore

I'm a beautiful mess
Cinderella's still in america
I wasted my time
Sitting in the flat with my stoned best friends
Or in the pub
Insisting that I'm fine when I'm probably drunk
Oh ask me what drives me insane

Do you remember halloween?
I was the one with the bright pink wings
I had a great time
I preferred it to Final Fling
My friends are the best

I have a theory
That I should shut up about the earphones
You'll say the song's great
You're so nice, but you're so wrong
Yeah, I'm calling it quits

chorus

Don't ask me reason I don't know it myself
Halfway up the country without any help
No-one I know in like a 2 hour drive
This is where I drink for the rest of my life

I'm happy I got somewhere
We're a beautiful train wreck
That sums up the whole year
We're not in parkside anymore

Is he good is he good
Don't let me know
Is he bad is he bad
Please tell me so

But that's not how the cookie crumbles
I'm not part of a John Green Novel
Oh I wish I would be
Cause this feels as crazy
I want to be like the boys in films
Cause it feels like things work out
Andit never ever works out
But I care enough to stay
Cause as long as everyone else is fine
Then that's all that matters right?

hey
i sat around and told stories
about you
i guess we don't sound normal after all

say you'll stay
long enough to miss me
say you'll stay
long enough to miss me
