lyrics

Don't be afraid, this shit's not timeless
I know it seems so far away
Just tell dad I'm doing alright
I'll see him another time anyways

Did you turn to watch me burn
The night after you learned to turn your back
(At least we're still family like that)

My brother grew a little quiet
So he could only hear
The ringing in his head
That passed from ear to ear

Well I didn't fit in,
So why'd you scowl at me?
I couldn't help but smile
As you slid down that railing
With your kid, the next second.

And all I could think was
"Well damn,
at least there's some happiness here,
Though I'm alone".

We're not alone.

Beauty has a best friend,
He's a liar and a cheat.
He hurts her knowingly
But it's her fault that she's naive.

(So? She'll grow.)
I hope!
Will she figure it out?
Or will she hit the bottle and party
Cause she thinks that it'll help?

Yeah for the record,
I think your band is pretty great.
But it's too much about those pretty girls
you wish that you could date

(Get over it)

And those egos?
What have you got to protect?
You've gotta earn those pretty girls
You've gotta work for that respect.

Don't be afraid, this shit's not timeless
I know it seems so far away
And just tell dad I'm doing alright
I'll see him another time anyways

The man I am now
Is not the man I used to be
And I know that sounds pretentious
Because I'm only twenty

But I started writing this song
When I was in grade eight
You said I'd never get too far
Without learning more chords on guitar.

Yup.
