You’re On Your Own, Kid

Summer went way
Still the yearning stays
I play it cool with the best of them
I wait patiently
He’s gonna notice me
It’s ok, we’re the best of friends
Anyway

I hear it in your voice
You’re smoking with your boys
I touch my phone as if it’s your face
I didn’t choose this town
I dream of getting out
There’s just one
Who could make me stay
All my days

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
I waited ages to see you there
I search the party of better bodies
Just to learn that you never cared
You’re on your own, kid
You always have been

I see the greatest scape
So long, Daisy May
I picked the petals, he loves me not
Something different bloomed
Writing in my room
I play my songs in the parking lot
I’ll run away

From sprinklers splashes to fireplace ashes
I called the taxi to take me there
I searched the party of better bodies
Just to learn
That my dreams aren’t rare
You’re on your own, kid
You always have been

From sprinklers splashes to fireplace ashes
I gave my blood, sweat and tears for this
I hosted parties and starved my body
Like I’d be saved
By a perfect kiss

The jokes weren’t funny
I took the money
My friends from home
Don’t know what to say
I looked around in a blood-soaked gown
And I saw something they can’t take away

‘Cause there were pages turned
With the bridges burned
Everything you lose
Is a step you take
So make the friendship bracelets
Take the moment and taste it
You’ve got no reason to be afraid

You’re on your own, kid
Yeah, you can face this

You’re on your own, kid
You always have been
