Kiss Off

Waitin' for a feelin' to materialize
Laughing and crying's the same release
The radio's playin' that song that you like
A young band trying to find its feet

I know it's probably not my phrase
But don't make me wait
Trust me, nothing will change
And tomorrow's all there is

The rest is space
That you'd wanna fill with a better world
A better job and a better girl
A purpose is just somethin' that works
For more than a while

You know how it sounds, but you don't know how it feels
Laughing and crying's the same release
You sing about distance while you're closing her in
I love you, I used to, I'm sure I did

But all our memories will fade
And when they're gone
Who cares about the marks that we made?
And while our bodies grow old, in my mind
We're still
The toughest kids on our street
Still waiting for life to agree
And I had you, so you must have had me back at 17

I know it's probably not my phrase
But don't make me wait
Trust me, nothing will change
Though I cannot feel my years
They're all here in my songs to you

And I know that when my number is up
When every song has been sung
And every thought has been fought
I'll be counting on you to be here
To kiss me off
