I grew up when TV changed Jesus saves and runs away Carson got his fifteen minutes For being friends with the kid who did it And I have dreams where I'm still trying to park at Jericho Beach I got out and ran away Nobody came, nobody After all this waiting, seismic renovation Gutted out the whole thing, but kept the presentation So I figured I could probably do the same You pick me up, it's far away You need me for the carpool lane I'm obsessed with what you're saying “Take me out tonight” is playing And I can't believe you And you won't convince me either way I'll be yours until we're dead You said it first, you said it After all this waiting, I was gonna save it I was only practice, you were gonna waste it So I figured I should wake up and walk home But the pavement is a portal Then I'm sixteen, and I don't know How to handle being mortal Being rivals on the ride home Staying somewhere that you don't know But I'm still trying And I'm still trying And I'm still trying I thought you wanted me this way (And I'm still trying) And I'm still trying I thought you wanted me this way (I thought you wanted me this way) I thought you wanted me this way (I thought you wanted me this way) I thought you wanted me this way I thought you wanted me this way I thought you wanted me this way
