A Few Notes
First time I heard this song was in 2003, around the time ‘Hands Down‘ blew up.
Sleep with all the lights on
You’re not so happy
You’re not secure
And you’re dying to look cute
In your blue jeans
But you’re plastic just like everyone
Just like everyone
And that face you paint is pressed
Impressing most of us as permanent
And I’d like to see you undone
College night will draw the crowds
Dorms unload and you’re heading out
Here is your moment to shine
Making up a history
It’s nothing from the life you lead
But man, will they buy all your lines
Sleep with all the sheets off
Bearing your mattress
Bearing your soul
And you’re dying to look smooth
With your tattoos
But you’re searching just like everyone
You could be anyone
And those friends you have are the best
Impressing most of us as permanent
But I’d like to see you undone
Youth’s the most unfaithful mistress
Still we forge ahead to miss her
Rushing our moment to shine
Making up a history
It’s nothing from the life you lead
But man, will they buy all your lines
We’re not twenty-one
But the sooner we are
The sooner the fun will begin
So get out your fake eyelashes
And fake I.D.s
And real disasters ensue
It’s cool to take these chances
It’s cool to fake romances
And grow up fast
And grow up fast
And grow up fast
And grow up fast
