i get excited when i think of all the different lives i could live
as long as there are mountains & dogs & babies
i know i'll be good
i think about the way i look at you & it's changed
& it'll keep on changing, but it's fine & it's okay
i won't always love you
& i won't always see the stars the way i do now
or will i? i don't know

all my friends are at the bar
i'm getting stoned in my car
& i feel just like a little kid
one of my boyfriends is seventeen
i swear there's nothing wrong with me
but i feel just like a little kid
don't tell me what to do
i don't care, i don't care, i don't care
i wanna buy beer for my friends
for letting me stay with them
but i can't cuz i'm just a little kid
i lick the x's off my hands
to drink a whiskey sour
watching my favorite band
and i feel just like a little kid
don't tell me what to do
i don't care, i don't care, i don't care

can we at least finish watching grease
before you break up with me
i wanna know what happens in the end
even though i've seen it twenty times before
i know this isn't forever
i don't want anything to last that long
but i'm having such a nice time with you
that i want to keep you around
can we at least finish watching grease
before you break up with me
i wanna know what happens in the end
even though i've seen it twenty times before
it's inevitable, but the least you could do
is stick around
so we can finish what we started
can we at least finish watching jeopardy
before you break up with me
but jeopardy never ends
at least i hope it never will
so maybe this is a trick
just to keep you around

we drive down the one
there's nothing like the sun
mountains fold
you fold around me
i want to forget all these things
but i don't want to
i like to think it was all bad
but that's not true
we're on your roof
i can see the whole thing
i light a cigarette, lift up my skirt
& bruise my knee
i want to forget all these things
but i don't want to
i like to think it was all bad
but that's not true
