And I wanna get out of this town Cause when I take a look around All of the faces are starting to look the same Who made this so fucking cliché? How do I breakthrough? When I don’t want to be friends with you And I know that there’s more to life Than writing songs about girls But I won’t join your cult Why? I don’t fucking know How do I breakthrough? When I don’t want to be friends with you

Oh Elaine I can’t keep sitting around here all day listening to your fucking problems It’s getting late, I’m getting tired and I want to go home When you were a child, you spoke like a child, acted like a child, and thought like a child And… I don’t know? Let’s get on with the song I think it’s time for me to go and cut my hair I’m starting to look like all of those guys that I despise With their cuffed jeans and their pairs of vans And their ability to gaslight women whenever they can I don’t really care about them I just wanna hold you And I don’t really wanna be like them I just wanna be with you And being introverted for such a long time Leaves a lot of shit bottled up inside And I guess you just caught me on the wrong night And I guess you just caught me at a really weird time in my life And you can keep your haircuts, you can keep your moral high ground You can try to impress whoever the fuck you want to impress But at the end of the day, only you really know if you’re really happy And I don’t really about that I just wanna hold you And I don’t really wanna be like that I just wanna be with you And oh Elaine I can’t keep sitting around here all day listening to your problems The hour is getting late, I’m getting tired and I just wanna go home But when you were a child, you spoke like a child, you acted like a child and you thought like a child And none of us can really blame you for that Well I guess, I guess?

And when I’m gone you can keep everything I leave behind Everything in my mind and all of my regrets But what are regrets without the people they belong to? And they’re gonna haunt you For the rest of your life So I open my mouth and spit out the blood from the night I drank too much and said something I shouldn’t of And I guess you’re as real as me and that explains why you can see all the ghosts in my room And they’re gonna haunt me For the rest of my life

I took all the times that we had together for granted Who would’ve thought that in 3 years’ time I’d be missing them so God damn much We all wanted to be older, we all wanted to be free But we didn’t know how much we’d change in the process I remember walking out of our last day together Do you think we’re gonna be this close for the rest of our lives? Of course, why wouldn’t we be? But now it’s just a distance memory That I bring up in conversation at midnight In dodgy carparks And I love you all And I miss you all And it hurts me knowing we’ll never be perched on those stone steps again Just fucking around And I love you all
5.
I know it’s hard for you to understand That I love you in the way you love me It’s beyond touch, it’s beyond feelings And if we didn’t meet the way we met We would’ve never have been friends I remember you came over to my room one summer And asked me if I was taking shit I thought “oh fuck how do I explain?” Because I hadn’t been out of my room in a while And I hadn’t been talking as much I had no reason to feel the way I did And I thought you would just laugh at me So I kept it to myself Because I’m not one to practice what I preach I’ll strain my neck while sleeping And bruise my shins while dreaming As long as my eyes are closed I don’t have to watch out world fall apart And it’s funny you know How day blends into night and night becomes day Everything just keeps moving, everything just keeps going No matter how you’re feeling, even if you want it to stop I think I want to be the king of Perth? I think I want to be the king of Perth But I haven’t got a clique I’m not friends with the people I need to be friends with Ask me why I wanna be king and I’ll spit in your eye I’ll spit right into your fucking eye And day will continue to become night, and night will continue to become day
6.
I don’t wanna be one I don’t wanna be one Our bodies feel so old But we’re still so young And we’ll pass on our parents’ mistakes The original sin was never gone And God is never far away And I feel you breathing down my neck And I feel you, three scratches on my back I just wanna be one I just wanna be one I look up into the sun and pray That it will be destroy everyone Burn everything Leave nothing for us to regret Leave nothing left for us to destroy I feel you breathing down my neck I feel you, three scratches on my back

I can’t help myself from second guessing all the little things I just don’t like making those decisions Is there a way to leave everything up to you or someone else? I guess that’s what fate is for I just don’t wanna be a walking cliché But if you ask me why everyone is afraid It’s because we’ll never live up to those expectations that they placed upon us And I think I’m human because I can’t help missing everyone that’s gone away But still we’ll reach out our fists Just to pull them back in and open our palms Just to show we’ve got nothing I could go on about the good old boys and all the people they’ve fucked over But let’s just pretend that they don’t know any better It doesn’t change a thing A fuck all those people who think being sad Makes them more desirable It really hurts the people that I know That are going through some shit on their own It really fucks with the people I know And I’m not afraid to die, but I’m not ready So come on, what are you waiting for? So sin against me
9.
It’s too late now we’ve just gotta move on There’s no point thinking about the days Where we went wrong When you paint a picture And you hang it on your wall Do you see my face hidden in the lines? Cause when I close my eyes at night I see everything you could be And everything I’m not It’s too late now you’ve just gotta move on The world outside doesn’t wait for anyone And the people who love will forget about you And the people you love are forgetting all about you If you ever see me walking down the street I don’t mind if you avoid me Just do whatever you need I just want you to feel again
