Pass The Powerchords

Go ahead, push play
It's the only way
You'll ever hear this voice again, dear
No, I'd never call you that
From a mile away with someone else's lips
Out of chances and time and you've never had the tact (never had the tact)

Go ahead, push play
It's the only way
You'll ever hear this voice again
A song for the ones who don't deserve it
Cry to your friends and write a blog about it
And leave us all alone

Open those lips for air if you dare
Make your lungs struggle through the weight
Of that heart you keep so heavy in your chest
I doubt there's room to breathe
with all the ill will and deceit
You're such a mess

And you can save face for someone else
The truth's out so take the hint and stop the voice mails
All the kids on Hillvale, we're doing quite well
We never needed you and we won't now

Open those lips for air if you dare
Make your lungs struggle through the weight
Of that heart you keep so heavy in your chest

Despite all the disinterest you're pretending
Yeah, believe it or not, we still have dreams
Not just latching onto any person we see

Here in Hillvale, we're doing quite well
We never needed you and we won't now
Here in Hillvale, we're doing quite well
We never needed you and we won't now

This start-struck school boy has found direction
At least we're trying
