lyrics

wine from the dépanneur is twice as sweet as it was before i stumbled through my arts degree. i don't wanna waste my wit always searching for a place to sit, living life in lethargy. i don't wanna waste my trust, so I will not sit on the bus. I've never given up my seat, but...

I guess I forgot the lessons my friends taught me
fables my pals made me
labels I missed out on
things I think I heard wrong
nineteen year-old baby

darling, don't get me wrong, but i can't strum another song on a poorly strung guitar. 'til i land a better deal, i'll wedge my legs above the wheel and pray we don't hit a bump.

i'm sorry friends, but it had to be done. why bother breaking rules if you're no longer having fun? so, hide your car keys high on the shelf. i'm set to show this town that i'm better than someone else.

I guess I forgot the lessons my friends taught me
fables my pals made me
labels I missed out on
things I think I heard wrong
nineteen year-old babies take the bus.
