Ashley's Song

(álbum: Horrible Kids - 2011)

Who knew that immaturity was an anthem?
The song that you sing when you lose your way
Nothing to do? Well, let's argue
If it passes time, it must be okay
Who knew that immaturity was an anthem?
The song that you sing when you lose your way
Nothing to do? Well, let's argue, oh

Talking to you is just like breathing with a broken lung
I'd much rather hang out with a noose for fun
If you think you've hurt me, you're oblivious
And if you think this song's the same, then you're ridiculous
Congrats, you got this song to yourself
The nice one's sitting all alone on the shelf
Collecting dust, oh, it's a must
Now listen as I tell them what became of us

Who knew that immaturity was an anthem?
The song that you sing when you lose your way
Nothing to do? Well, let's argue
If it passes time, it must be okay
Who knew that immaturity was an anthem?
The song that you sing when you lose your way
Nothing to do? Well, let's argue
If it passes time, it must be okay
Okay, yeah, oh-oh

Shoo, fly, don't bother me
I swear to God if I had the ability
I'd block your texts and have them sent to you
So you can see exactly why I was forced to move
On and on, you tighten my belt
You're a critic? Well, critique yourself
This is my resignation to dedication
You should have just let me be

Who knew that immaturity was an anthem?
The song that you sing when you lose your way
Nothing to do? Well, let's argue
If it passes time, it must be okay
Who knew that immaturity was an anthem?
The song that you sing when you lose your way
Nothing to do? Well, let's argue
If it passes time, it must be okay

Afflicted, restricted
Now my head's beating down my door
I never wanted to have to do this
I never wanted to write this song
Your friends don't know you put me through this
'Cause the picture you painted for them was all wrong
Go ahead and call me a liar
Tell everyone I never loved you
You're the saint, I'm the one on fire
It's reminiscent of tortured youth

Who knew that immaturity was an anthem?
The song that you sing when you lose your way
Nothing to do? Well, let's argue
If it passes time, it must be okay
Who knew that immaturity was an anthem?
The song that you sing when you lose your way
Nothing to do? Well, let's argue
If it passes time, it must be okay

And so, it was, that the boy and girl went on to live different lives
Apart from one another, they would soon decide
Through time and loneliness, the boy found clarity
Which he chose to release on the world through insanity
