lyrics

I was taking was no chances
I was saving you dances
I was taking you out for a ride in my parents’ car
But hell, I think I know you too well
I think I know me too
And we’ve only done a read-through
We barely got through the read-through
If we had the same mother
I could love you like a brother
But we don’t so we don’t have to
Yeah, we don’t have to love each other at all

This was grade 9 I was wild and wide-eyed and
On the fringes of a high school dance
You were there with me, probably wanted to kiss me
I only looked at you askance
Then you started crying, I didn’t know why and
So I sat there holding your hand
Love or lack thereof, it’s taken care of
I must request that you remand

I was taking was no chances
I was saving you dances
I was taking you out for a ride in my parents’ car
But hell, I think I know you too well
I think I know me too
And we’ve only done a read-through
We barely got through the read-through
If we had the same mother
I could love you like a brother
But we don’t so we don’t have to
Yeah, we don’t have to love each other at all

I’ve always been awkward, unsure when I talk words
Have a hard time getting out
In the heat of the moment I start to foment
And can’t tell what you’re talking about
I correct my wrongs by writing songs
And there are so many to redress
The years that came since then, the just make me wince and
If anything I’ve regressed

Taking was no chances
I was saving you dances
I was taking you out for a ride in my parents’ car
But hell, I think I know you too well
I think I know me too
And we’ve only done a read-through
We barely got through the read-through
If we had the same mother
I could love you like a brother
But we don’t so we don’t have to
Yeah, we don’t have to love each other at all

This was grade 9 I was wild and wide-eyed and
On the fringes of a high school dance
You were there with me, said you wanted to kiss me
I didn’t give you the chance
Then you started crying, I knew why and
Still I sat there holding your hand
Love or lack thereof, it’s taken care of
It’s taken care of, it’s taken care of

But hell, I think I know you too well
I think I know me too
And we’ve only done a read-through
We barely got through the read-through
And shit, I’m not too proud of it
I led you on for so long
And all you’ve got is this stupid song
And all I have is this stupid song
