Get yourself to the park
On your damn squeaky gears
packing a punch in your pocket
in case they come running when they hear
in your checkerboard shirt
the last time I checked you weren't bored
but you learn real fast
gotta keep spinning and dont look back
The girls don't love you with a face like that
but your mom is so proud that you look like dad
and as your knees get further from the top of your head
they're not looking for you, they're hunting you down instead
in your checkerboard shirt
the last time I check you were bored as shit
but you learned real fast
you should grow up quick and then don't look back
at the snap of a finger
she'll snap you with her finger
and you'll be him forever
she wants you forever (X2)
in the dead of the night
when the train car slows
you can find a new park
where she can take your photo
in your checkerboard shirt
the last time I checked you were bored as shit
but you grew up fast
you grew up and now you want it all back
at the snap of a finger
she'll snap you with her finger
and you'll be him forever
she wants you forever (X2)
