lyrics

TENNIS SHOES

Chalk up the board and leave a mark
The words read fine but the ending's dark
Anna sings me right back to sleep (and)
Can I be brave just for this weekend?

It's a grey area
It's a bad idea
It's gonna wake suburbia and shake the curlers out of your hair
Because there's no likeability
In a lack of ability
Until you stop hitting me I'll smack the white off your tennis shoes

My city burnt its pretty lights
My city burn but the warmth was nice
And suddenly I'm at your mercy
And you did your best to make my nose bleed

On the grey area
It's a bad idea
It's gonna wake suburbia and shake the curlers out of your hair
Because there's no likeability
In a lack of ability
Until you stop hitting me I'll smack the white off your tennis shoes

She said “I told you to leave me”
She said “don't you police me”
She said “I told you to leave me”
She said “don't ya boy beat me into poetry, That's not fair to me”
Well that's fine

‘Cause It's a grey area
It's a bad idea
It's gonna wake suburbia and shake the curlers out of your hair
Because there's no likeability
In a lack of ability
Until you stop hitting me I'll smack the white off your tennis shoes

A pop-punk album full of both angst and maturity. A lot of this album is about growing up, but I've been consistently coming back to this album for over 5 years and it never gets old. evan_burman
