What does it mean To still be here, living with trees Tapping at the windows It's almost like they're asking What we think we're doing Waking up on air mattresses Drinking instant coffee while Outside, birds will fall In this twisted dream A toxic slew of memories Remember the back of the class Listening to seventeen covers Of "Kissing in Cars" and Going through every last Tear stained inch of you Remember the grass beneath my feet Before you ever knew about me The school shootings, the rain Kids crying in the parking lot Phoning parents, trying not to be afraid You're the only person I've ever seen At midnight in an overcrowded kitchen Leaned against a counter Like you know where you belong That night, I saw stars behind your eyes I don't want to grow up anymore

Kissing in Cars
What does it mean To still be here, living with trees Tapping at the windows It's almost like they're asking What we think we're doing Waking up on air mattresses Drinking instant coffee while Outside, birds will fall In this twisted dream A toxic slew of memories Remember the back of the class Listening to seventeen covers Of "Kissing in Cars" and Going through every last Tear stained inch of you Remember the grass beneath my feet Before you ever knew about me The school shootings, the rain Kids crying in the parking lot Phoning parents, trying not to be afraid You're the only person I've ever seen At midnight in an overcrowded kitchen Leaned against a counter Like you know where you belong That night, I saw stars behind your eyes I don't want to grow up anymore
I don't want you to go.
