Will I make a wish
For years again, then trade it all back in?
For wedding cake, pink lemonade, incense?
Like citronella candles, we were lit.

On my life
I shoot when I see the whites of your eyes
When winter days keep you and I inside
Sometimes it just feels good to twist the knife

And no one knows why

And if I could
I’d listen to your voice read the phonebook
Replace the leaves on every branch I shook
I think it might be time to hang it up

Sophomore Slump

Your sister says she tried her best
Her dirty bedroom tells a million stories - each worse than the last
But that's none of our concern
There's furniture to burn

Your sister went and fell in love
But maybe not the kind of "love" your mom and dad were thinking of
She's gonna do just fine
She lands on her feet every time

There's a whisper on the wind
Feel the tremors creeping in
You can't wait to tell your friends
what you did this summer
Burn your conscience to the ground
There's nothing left to think about
It's no use now, the secret's out
what you did this summer

Your sister disappeared again
Took up an English accent, cut her hair, abandoned all her friends
She'll learn to make her luck
You need people like us

There's a whisper on the wind
Feel the tremors creeping in
You can't wait to tell your friends
what you did this summer
Burn your conscience to the ground
There's nothing left to think about
It's no use now, the secret's out
what you did this summer

There's a whisper on the wind
Feel the tremors creeping in
You can't wait to tell your friends
what you did this summer
Burn your conscience to the ground
There's nothing left to think about
It's no use now, the secret's out
what you did this summer
