[Verse 1]
I grew up when TV changed
Jesus saves and runs away
Carson got his fifteen minutes
For being friends with the kid who did it
And I have dreams where
I'm still trying to park at Jericho Beach

[Pre-Chorus]
I got out and ran away
Nobody came, nobody

[Chorus]
After all this waiting, seismic renovation
Gutted out the whole thing, but kept the presentation
So I figured I could probably do the same

[Verse 2]
You pick me up, it's far away
You need me for the carpool lane
I'm obsessed with what you're saying
"Take me out tonight" is playing
And I can't believe you
And you won't convince me either way

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll be yours until we're dead
You said it first, you said it
[Chorus]
After all this waiting, I was gonna save it
I was only practice, you were gonna waste it
So I figured I should wake up and walk home

[Bridge]
But the pavement is a portal
Then I'm sixteen, and I don't know
How to handle being mortal
Being rivals on the ride home
Staying somewhere that you don't know
But I'm still trying
And I'm still trying
And I'm still trying

[Outro]
I thought you wanted me this way (And I'm still trying)
And I'm still trying
I thought you wanted me this way
(I thought you wanted me this way)
I thought you wanted me this way
(I thought you wanted me this way)
I thought you wanted me this way
I thought you wanted me this way
I thought you wanted me this way
