lyrics

February 26th, 2007

Ken had a Punk Rock themed costume party. I aimed for Elvis Costello but hit “investment banker circa 1985” instead. I got too drunk. Again . Either a need to blow-of f steam or just escape everything. Tracy and I sat on the kitchen floor and talked about what had prevented us from dating after Chelsee and I broke up. Ken overheard and came up and told us we're absolutely not allowed to date. Matt and I sat on the back porch smoking cigarettes of all things which means I’m getting nihilistic again. Matt pierced his ears with safety pins which probably means he is too.

-----------------------------------

Got too drunk at the punk rock party
Didn’t mean to hit it so hard
Comparing pain and comparing scars
Somewhere we took it too far
Matt’s sticking safety pins in his ears
Tracy’s in the Bathroom in tears
Dark things none of us confronts
Because we’re only young once
Only young once

Youth is flaming like a torch
Smoking cigarettes on the porch
I haven’t been this lonely in months
And we’re only young once
Only young once

As I spin my way to the door
I reckon I’m not young anymore
