Seventy Times 7
- Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know,
- like how to deal with despair, or someone breaking your heart.
- For twelve years I've held it all together but a night like this is begging to pull me apart.
- I played it quiet, left you deep in conversation.
- I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen.
- I remember I kept thinking that I know you never would,
- and now I know I want to kill you like only a best friend could.
- Everyone's caught on to everything you do
- Everyone's caught on to.
- As if this happening wasn't enough I got to go
- and write a song just to remind myself how bad it sucked.
- Ignore the sun, the cover's over my head.
- I wrote a message on my pillow that says, "Jesse, stay asleep in bed."
- So don't apologize. I hope you choke and die.
- Search your cell for something with which to hang yourself.
- They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven
- but they don't tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell.
- Everyone's caught on to everything you do
- Everyone's caught on to
- And everyone's caught on to everything you do (And I can't let you, let me down again.)
- Everyone's caught on to (And I can't let you, let me down again)
- So, is that what you call a getaway?
- Tell me what you got away with.
- Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish.
- I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids.
- Have another drink and drive yourself home.
- I hope there's ice on all the roads.
- And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt,
- and again when your head goes through the windshield.
- And is that what you call tact?
- You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back.
- So let's end this call, and end this conversation.
- and is that what you call a getaway?
- well tell me what you got away with.
- cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
- when you say best friends means friends forever
- So, is that what you call a getaway?
- Well tell me what you got away with.
- Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish.
- I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids.
- Have another drink and drive yourself home.
- I hope there's ice on all the roads.
- And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt,
- and again when your head goes through the windshield.
- Everyone's caught on to everything you do (And I can't let you, let me down again)
- Everyone's caught on to (And I can't let you, let me down again)
