(Chorus)
(Verse 1)
If we leave at ten,
we can be at the orchard at eleven PM
Izzy can't come out tonight -
so it's just you, me, and Jen.
Remember when, the way that we were then?
We spent
Most of our time in cars
which made sense,
it was the only place that was ours.
The orchard is for tonight, but it's only a borrow.
It'll be the farmer's again tomorrow.
(Chorus)
I'm not trying to think about it as if it happened
any other way than the way that it actually did.
I know it was a totally different story in the past
but that's cause while it was happening, we actually
had to live with it.
Things in the basement at 3 A.M.
that are true for today
New day begins, new chapter - but you lose your way
Here's to Dashboard Confessional on Bloody Tuesday
in the Junior Lot - Do you wanna come over tonight?
I'd sooner not - but yes definitely, on the off chance
that yesterday you were just messing with me
(Chorus)
Remember that time in the senior lounge
when my laugh broke the silence
from where I lay on the ground -
shouted: We are the golden youth of America.
The world awaits with baited breath
what next we will do
I guess none of you
probably remember that shit that I said.
Fuck, I think childhood is perfect 'cause so little of it
happens in your head.
Does teenage angst sap me of strength
or is the fact that till four in the morning, I stayed up
playing computer games?
I was just taking you off my brain,
so it's the same.
For those who don't give a shit,
and want that in the record -
it isn't your right to object, kid.
Get a little perspective.
And get a sense of history before you talk about
this to me;
J.D. Salinger never died, and he won't die soon.
Only on the day
America forgets being lonely in high school.
