It was seventh grade
Had a flannel tied around my waste
Sweaty hands shoved in my pockets
And fear all over my face

I felt dizzy an dirty and guilty as hell
Wishing it’s over and all turns out well
Back pressed up against a rusty screen door
And all that i wanted, i wanted no more
Complication, insecurity

Take all i’ve saved
And wash it all away
Don’t feel better now
Than yesterday
Kiss innocence goodbye
I’ve lost my way

I was seventeen
In love with a prom queen
I was another notch in her bedpost
In this after school special scene

I felt anxious and stupid, she’s done this before
Her ruby red dressed slipped down to the floor
She turned off the light and i followed her hands
Seemed everything’s over before it began
Swallowing my pride

Take all i’ve saved
And wash it all away
Don’t feel better now
Than yesterday
Kiss innocence goodbye
I’ve lost my way

And i feel like a brand new boy
Funny how it works out that way
I’ll laugh again tomorrow
If i can get over yesterday

Take all i’ve saved
And wash it all away
Don’t feel better now
Than yesterday
Kiss innocence goodbye
I’ve lost my way

Take all i’ve saved
And wash it all away
Don’t feel better now
Than yesterday
Kiss innocence goodbye
I’ve lost my way

My way!
My way!
My way!

Don’t feel better now
Than yesterday
Kiss innocence goodbye
I’ve lost my way.
