hungover but i won't hang up,
acting like i give a fuck.
let me waste another day
skateboarding my problems away.
this summer i thought i'd grow out my hair
in hopes that no one would recognize me,
or act like i am too cool to care
and fall off my skateboard 'til i bleed.
and i will waste another day,
self-esteem is overrated anyway.
blood is gushing from my knees (and i can't get up)
my palms become asphalt from falling in the street (and i can't get up)
push me down until my conscience dies (so i'll drink enough)
drink away another wasted night (that i won't wake up)
this summer i thought i'd finally give up
'cuz i can only take so much
and drop out of school and start a band,
but nothing ever goes according to plan.
i'll drink away another day,
self-esteem is overrated anyway.
and then you woke from a bad dream
and saw right through me.
cut the hair out of my eyes,
you're just too old for that.
