lyrics

head wrestling
my dad outside the blockbuster

smashing our skulls at incredible speeds
loving that everyone’s watching

2003,
watching the iraq war on tv

alone silently,
to drown out the noise of family fighting

i always wonder if i’m destined to hurt someone
i worry nothing that i do is really good for the world
but i lie, lie, lie, lie
and i like to lie

bashing my head against the wall
the boys of summer are no more
but deep inside, i’ve always known
the boys of summer never were

walking past the blockbuster
now, it’s just a vacant lot
all of my memories feel made up
maybe, but i still remember

2005
i watched the virginia tech massacre
on a rental tape intermixed
with pictures of me as a little kid laughing

my old best friend just went to jail for killing someone
i know that nothing that i do makes me responsible
but i feel like i left him behind

bashing my head against the wall
the boys of summer are no more
but deep inside, i’ve always known
the boys of summer never were
