Pretty Petty

It's pretty petty that we said we'd make our mark
But we're staring in the dark at what could be anything
Turn the lights on and look into my eyes
And tell me what you think you see
I think I hide it on the sleeves
Of the ten shirts that I'm in
You are young and innocent
Please stop now while your ahead

And you say it doesn't matter but it does
You're taking every shortcut
For a taste of what you want

I'm confused that maybe I might lose
In a generation I cant tell a look
From a year these days.
The same ending to every single song
Yeah you're doing whats been done
With your dad's trust fund
When it should be from the heart
Please ignore the trends and charts
And maybe pick up your guitar

And you say it doesn't matter but it does (it does)
You're taking every shortcut
For a taste of what you want
You say it doesn't matter but it does
You want it all so badly
But you can't be serious

Oh no! Oh no!
Oh no! Oh no!
Oh no you can't be serious
Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
I have to get this off my chest
Why is it cool to be depressed

I took a long, hot shower
And thought this thing over
When the going gets tough
Well the tough stay sober
But I keep my composure
Even when I'm all tangled
And battered and rattled
Like a love triangle
What kind of mood is this you're in
You are young and innocent

Please stop now while your ahead
Please stop now while your ahead
Please stop now while your ahead

And you say it doesn't matter but it does (it does)
You're taking every shortcut
For a taste of what you want
And you say it doesn't matter but it does
You say it doesn't matter but it does
You want it all so badly
But you're saying the wrong words

You say you got yourself a new perspective
We're running out of room for your eyeliner
Come over later and we'll cut your hair

Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah you say it doesn't matter but it does
You say it doesn't matter but it does
You say it doesn't matter but it
You say it doesn't matter but it does
