lyrics

Well, it took some time to happen
New cities are always like that.
I told some lies to get by
But soon it was no surprise:

These murders were just prerecorded alibis.
Imported, sorted by their compromise
And reported just to organize
Another scenester party
You were homeless too!

(There was nowhere else to go!)

I left a trail of empty bottles from that empty house
To the van where we slept on the street for a week.
It was lonely but never left alone for long enough to pull the knife out.
It was lonely, but I was never left alone.

I know that you don't have a ghost
But we won how we won,
And now there's no going home tonight.

Yeah, I forget what it's like to be so young.

Johnny, are you there?
Are you listening?
Are you trying to cover your eyes?
Outside the room is your mother
Her hands are in her hair,
And it looks like she's been crying.

Johnny, are you there?
Are you listening?
It's your father, so open up.
Outside the room is the police
And their cigarettes are drawn like waiting gun-fire.

I forget what it's like to be so young.
And I'm breaking down.

I forget what it's like to be so young.
I forget, I forget what it's like to know.

So tell me why!
Why, Johnny, why did I ever go back?
