Hand-Me-Downs
I know we're in September
And this is my house
And this is my town
But my clothes are in the case
And I am leaving
Don't tell me what you spent it on
You always lie
You always lie
And it's a decision
I am leaving
We used to say for fun
Let's say you lived
And then you did
You were the leader of us all
The perfect fall
You speak to the weak and old picture of me
Everybody says they wanna be free
And it's a decision
So I am leaving
The powder's in the kitchen
The spoon is on the floor
Your sister says it's different now
I don't believe her anymore
And I don't want your hand me downs
They're old, they're all worn out
I don't wanna hang around
I don't want your hand me downs
So now I'm in this hotel room
I'm free and droning on
But the music's way too loud
I wanna skip to the next song
The glass is on the counter
The sheets are on the floor
Your sister says it's not the same
I don't believe her anymore
And I don't want your hand me downs
They're old, they're all worn out
I don't wanna hang around
I don't want your hand me downs
So you lie yourself to sleep tonight
But you won't think of me
'cause your world revolves around you
Or so it seems
Or so it seems
And you can't get off
And I can't get on
Yourself is all you see
And I don't wanna hang around
I don't want your hand me downs anymore
You speak to the weak and old picture of me
Everybody says they wanna be free
And it's a decision
So I am leaving
And this is my house
And this is my town
But my clothes are in the case
And I am leaving
Don't tell me what you spent it on
You always lie
You always lie
And it's a decision
I am leaving
We used to say for fun
Let's say you lived
And then you did
You were the leader of us all
The perfect fall
You speak to the weak and old picture of me
Everybody says they wanna be free
And it's a decision
So I am leaving
The powder's in the kitchen
The spoon is on the floor
Your sister says it's different now
I don't believe her anymore
And I don't want your hand me downs
They're old, they're all worn out
I don't wanna hang around
I don't want your hand me downs
So now I'm in this hotel room
I'm free and droning on
But the music's way too loud
I wanna skip to the next song
The glass is on the counter
The sheets are on the floor
Your sister says it's not the same
I don't believe her anymore
And I don't want your hand me downs
They're old, they're all worn out
I don't wanna hang around
I don't want your hand me downs
So you lie yourself to sleep tonight
But you won't think of me
'cause your world revolves around you
Or so it seems
Or so it seems
And you can't get off
And I can't get on
Yourself is all you see
And I don't wanna hang around
I don't want your hand me downs anymore
You speak to the weak and old picture of me
Everybody says they wanna be free
And it's a decision
So I am leaving
