The Lawrence Arms - Paradise sh**ty lyrics

Save a song for me to sing, boy, if I wanna play a song tonight Is there something I could wail out if I wanna wail by candlelight? I'm feeling sick I'm feeling old I'm feeling weak I feel that snow Down in my knees Down in my soul In place of guts I've got a hole Like everybody else I've ever known Baby, this ain't home to me, no matter what they say The gra** is too damn green here and the hearts are dull and grey So take me down to that city where the girls just look okay It's about all I can take I've stood too long in one place Strap me to the station wagon roof and drive me out into the hills It may sound like I'm screaming from the car but I'm just screaming from the thrill I'm so alive I'm so afraid That I've been wasting what's left of these days These days I feel with a cold heart It's easier to keep it hard Just grab your sh** and meet me in the yard Baby, this ain't home to me, no matter what they say The gra** is too damn green here and the hearts are dull and grey So take me down to that city where the girls just look okay It's about all I can take I've stood too long in one place Lollipop dreams and candycane waves Are gonna hurt like hell when they crumble away Because a beautiful youth hurts worst when it dies A rotten reminder of the days we decided we'd rather go big and then rot away We'd give into love and wind up castaways We said "f** all the old boring sh**s we've become" So we hoarded our dreams and we burnt every one And f** me, man, I knew not what I'd done f** us, man, we knew not what we'd done Man, we were just having some fun Baby, this ain't home to me, no matter what they say The gra** is too damn green here and the hearts are dull and grey So take me down to that city where the girls just look okay It's about all I can take I've stood too long in one place
