small town, green eyes
bad girls, worse guys
don't get so dense
you don't make no sense.

big hands, big mouth, big teeth, big shoulders
pushing boulders, boulders
the captains of the clip sit thinking
as this ship is sinking
one friday night
the empire state was alight
friday night
the empire state is alright with me
if they get used to being sussed out
they might learn to fear it
i had my eyes already plucked out
didn't want to hear it
one friday night
the empire state was alight
friday night
the empire state is alright with me
and i know it sounds strange
but you were right
and i know it sounds strange
but i was wrong again
i let them win...
religion brought me to my knees
so i ain't misbehavin'
i searched far and wide over seas
to find something to save

your movie posters on my wall
you better believe i watched them all
brilliant young actor in my head
brilliant young actor on my bed
he said put it away or it's mine
excuse me while i fangirl
now you are the only one who knows
it's funny eh, where the minds goes
i heard they're not dating, they're just friends
strangers have strange obsessions
excuse me while i fangirl
now you are the only one who knows
i felt bad enough, secretly on fire
i felt bored enough
and i ain't even mad
my desperate longing holds a truth
secret to an eternal youth
attractive and young you'll stay the same
who among you can say the same

retraction song
02:14

this is a retraction
some things are better unsaid
did it get a reaction?
was the message sent?
it must have been someone
show me them fiery eyes
show me to the action
teach me to improvise
it's all been said and you couldn't defend it
you threw what you had in the fires again
and pretend to bury it all
make a call and start making some plans
for these dirty hands
is there anyone out there
past the borderlines?
would you know where to find me
if i gave you a time?
it was good at the outset
i thought you could fill me up
now we're stuck in the mindset
nothing is good enough
and you're way too tired to meet my demands
got your feet on the floor but they don't want to dance
and you said you had enough of my plans
so start wiping the stains and the sands
from my dirty hands
this is a retraction

you had a nervous breakdown in your car
and drove into an empty parking lot
bawled your eyes out in the back seat
my friends are all so alike
they like to drink cheap wine from boxes
they like to argue with me about science
and they always win, they always win
cause i don't know anything
i don't know anything
and you don't know anything
i don't know
i can't believe how old we got
we were prettier when we were younger
we were happier when we were shorter but stronger
we were happier when we were sober-er
life is beautiful now that it's over
or at least we think it is, at least we think
but we don't know anything
we don't know anything
you don't know anything i don't know
i don't know
(rock and roll)
if i die so young
i hope they bury me under a tombstone
that says i lived and died in oakville
i never left, never left
and i didn't know anything
i didn't know anything
i don't know anything i don't know
i don't know anything
i don't know anything
and you don't know anything i don't know
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know

i was the girl with the sun in her eyes
you were the boy in the tragic disguise
you were my fairy heroine
i wasn't fairly scared of him
who would kiss me with competence
til i was drunk on confidence
we were the girls oh so pleated and pressed
where were the boys armed in lemons and jest?
we found that charm disgusting too
still there's no point not trusting you
to let me make my own mistakes
til there's no need for safety brakes
to stop my head when you said
philosophy is stupid
i'd rather be cupid and giggle at the girls in red
who aren't dead yet
instead of giving thought to those not living
in a world of clumsy twerps and miniskirts
NOTHING HURTS
you were the guy oh so charming and brave
calmed down the fire and came out of your cave
you were like fairy heroin
i wasn't fairly scared of him
who would kiss me with competence
until i was drunk on confidence
and lost my head when you said
philosophy is stupid, etc.
