Everything around you better
D         A        G             Em
But all those zeroes after this one
A                     G           Em 
There is no one to destroy your sweater

I'll try to hum it to you if I can't sing

My baby wants me back before I even leave
A               G                 Em 
Smothered and covered by my high school dreams
A               G                 Em 
Call mom and daddy cause the nest is empty

Did you meet with your advisor?
A               G                 Em 
Do you still draw in the margins?
A               G                 Em 
Bubble letters reading "WHAT FOR?"
A               G                 Em 
And "I wish I had a stand-in..."

A               G                 Em 
Let's try to make another year for the teens
A               G                 Em 
I miss your bangs, can cut them for me
