school bus

it’s weird to think that we have grown up
pretty soon we’ll be far from 19
do you recall those days?
on the school bus, you almost threw up

funny how we spend so much time
sitting there and wasting our best life
when the room got too loud
in the back, Claire was kissing her boyfriend

when I'd learned to drive
I'll drive around the city just like Christine McPherson
if I could simplify
it’d be easy and I'll be at a different stage now

you felt dizzy once you stand up
and I was scared that I might screw up
when a girl hated me for no reason
I was hating the girl in the mirror

when I'd learned to drive
I'll drive around the city just like Christine McPherson
if I could simplify
it‘d be easy and I'll be at a different stage now

i still don't feel like a grown-up
living in my parents' house and don't know how to drive
i do recall those days
and remember that felt like falling
