lyrics

i want to
rollerblade,
i want to stay out late

mom please lift my curfew
you’re ruining me

i want to go on dates
i wanna drink my weight

in bad decisions
so catch me living it up
in this city

where there’s more people in
cemeteries than
in the fucking buildings, but that’s ok

i wanna fuck shit up
maybe adopt a pup

we’ll walk around
all over town
And we’ll be barking a lot

doing things like graffiti
And skateboard tricks

mom please raise my allowance
so i can be a kid

i wanna disappear
i want this to be my year

twenty-seventeen was a fucking bitch
she wouldn’t stop pulling my ear

i can’t do anything right
this year I’m putting up a fight

mom please give me some advice
i need to find a fucking light

gotta shake my tambourine
gotta find that in-between

somewhere halfway between
being gay
and totally straight

i gotta call my dad
i gotta be less sad

gotta get a job
join the mob
stop being such a sob

gonna find that pot of gold
my bread’s got tons of mold
on the crust and in the middle
it’s just everywhere

I’m throwing this OUT
in the rain where i belong
shaking in my skin
don’t know where to begin

but ill find that place
if i keep running away
from my fear of being forgotten
and getting in the way

but then i’ll dye my hair
n get attacked by a bear
he says i taste good n sweet
when he bites down with his teeth

and so we talk about our lives
n then i break out in hives
from all the milk
that was spilt
on the driveway this past may

mom please tell me you’re proud
that i wake up every day

ride a tandem bike with me i wanna
take out out on a shopping spree
ride a wave away with me
we can run away from this town and be free

she says no
she says, “i don’t wanna go.”
mom please
comfort me

my heart is broken
feels like I’m choking

mom please
mom please
mom please
love me
