Baby, I've been so scared, so scared
Of dying with nothin' to lose
Isn't it so sad, so sad
Seein' all your friends move away?
You turned eighteen, eighteen
Got a tattoo on your ribcage
You said you wanted to be bad, be bad
Darlin', I'll take you to the teen age
It's just so sentimental
You underneath these fluorescent lights
If only I could fill these hollow streets
And drown my ears with my imagination
But no, no, no
I heard you perfectly
"Just go, go, go"
As if the sight of me makes your stomach curl
'Cause you're a practical girl and I'm a daydream
Now, I'm leaving for the city
You wanted something pretty
Maybe we'll meet in the middle
Someday
So you swore you'll never love again
Closin' off so it hurts less, hurts less
Dancin' in your prom dress, prom dress
Say goodbye to highschool and your young life
Kiss me once for the old times, old times
There, there, don't cry, don't cry
Your kiss melts me like softserve
Dripping on the curbside
Your ripped jeans are washing out
Like the pale blue in your eyes
You said you can't skate
Because you're scared of trippin'
But if you never try, oh, you'll never know
What you're missin'
So you swore you'll never love again
Closin' off so it hurts less, hurts less
Dancin' in your prom dress, prom dress
Say goodbye to highschool and your young life
Kiss me once for the old times, old times
There, there, don't cry, don't cry
Kiss me goodbye
Kiss me goodbye
Kiss me goodbye
Kiss me goodbye
Kiss me goodbye
Maybe in the next life
Maybe in the next life
Maybe in the next life
