I cued up the tape to the song that reminds me of the time
you and I drove to Boston and back in a day
And it felt like nothing at all until we were an hour away
when I exceeded the state speed limit,
In your polka dot car we weren't too far from home so I kicked up a mixtape,
And danced along while you slept through the whole car ride
and the whole album through the whole night.
I try to forget sometimes who I really am,
so I act like a being from a different planet
or laze my eyes and drop my chin like a zombie from the day of the dead.
It might have been something that you said
or it might have been the tune of the pinback song
repeating in my mind that made me realize
it's easy to be myself when you're by my side
But yo, don't get caught off guard cuz I don't feel like I'm not the same
as I was and the words that I say might not be what you wanted to hear
like torturing your ears when I grow out my nails and claw at the chalk board.
Id probably put Jessica alba on hold just to piss off the few that I have my problems with.
And Id never resent showing my bitter side in the letters I sent.
And on the hot days in the summertime I wanna blacken out the sunshine
and show my evil side when we take a ride,
In yer old Pontiac Bonneville where the feeling is chill and it seemed that time stood still,
And I wanna hold the moment with a song to remember and make a mixed cd of my memories
Yea I still act like a kid cuz I hate growing up,
and I know when im grown Ill still be a minor at heart
cuz I hate dealing with people that annoy me.
And for the record the majority of humans
that walk this earth are a decoy of some sort,
like the gift from the Greeks, the Trojan horse of troy,
I'll give anyone a try if they'd understand both sides.
Thats the matter with most people,
they don't wanna consider a different point of view.
And that's what attracts me to you even though yer not that rude,
you've got this thing thats hard to explain,
it's the kind of style I'd like to relate to.
They say man only hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest,
but I want to hear more off your chest.
