I saw Kansas City and the Mid West, you were long gone. She breathes Kentucky and a slow drag, hates the city. She brought you home, wore your coat and everyone you've ever known signed the book inside you'll never get to read.
And I say,
Hey! I'm the one that runs away. A counterfeit that tried to leave in spite I'm on your side. Back up just a bit to focus in, taking pictures now you're never in. So stay! Signed sincerely a counterfeit runaway.
She still has your ring on a neckless around her neck.
Drinking whiskey, taking slow drags I turn up the radio.
I'm skipping songs, your favorite ones.
It's me that can't listen.
I just hear you singing them.
Hey, I'm the one that runs away.
Counterfeit that tried to leave, in spite
I'm on your side.
Back up just a bit and focus in, taking pictures now you're never in.
Stay, sincerely a counterfeit runaway.
I'm skipping songs. your favorite ones.
It's me that can't listen.
I just hear you singing them again...
Hey...

A pop-punk album full of both angst and maturity. A lot of this album is about growing up, but I've been consistently coming back to this album for over 5 years and it never gets old. evan_burman
I love mom jeans. It immerses myself in those unforgettable feelings and makes me weep, and I smile as the trumpet starts to play. How wonderful. zhangzhanglang
