about

the only song on people that is about me (and my irrational adolescent fears). I promised I would not write one song from my perspective on this album but I feel really strongly about this one and somehow it fits the theme... it does feature a few people who apparently were more influential to me than I may have known at the time.

lyrics

1995 kicked my ass
spent my summer in art class
met some people that changed my life
my lung collapsed but I knew Id survive
if it weren't for the girls, the girls with brown eyes
who get close enough to see your terrified
if it weren't for the guys who took me in
who could surely tell I would never fit

catastrophes, disasters and the fate of the fucking red sox
all waited for me on a hill in some college town
I got there I put my bags down and I saw you
all fake pissed off proud and punk rock and I wanted to be the same

I said "I cant believe our councilor is in a ska band"
at this summer camp for rich kids
you said Icool man
I just had sex with my girlfriend
and I" feel like I wont the lottery"

wearing a shirt that said "no future"
a no fear tank you took a sharpie to
when you got up to your dorm room
and me in my sound idea T
at least 3 sizes too big for me
that my dad drove across the state of florida to get me

ohh jeane
im sorry I didn't know anything
I still don't know anything
but I could've at least been more of a gentleman
that stupid song we sang to the girls dorm
was great for everyone
not having a panic attack
I still don't know how I was your favorite
I was afraid of everything back then

catastrophes, disasters and the fate of the fucking red sox
all waited for me on a hill in some college town
I got there I put my bags down and I saw you
all fake pissed off proud and punk rock and I wanted to be the same
