I swore I'd never do it Now the emperor's the fool High school wasn't good to me And it was even worse for you It's as good as it got Some kinda masochistic knot Before the world got real And the happiness was not And ooooh Paper lanterns from the dance And ooooh It only takes one more chance Grab your coat it's kinda cold outside I'll scrape the ice off the car before we get inside We'll buy some State-line fireworks at the border tonight And remember like the Fourth of July I think I heard you found a new one In the fall of 96 Did the love end? Yeah Why? No We don't have to talk about it Playing House makes me so numb I still barely know his son Locks himself inside his room With the mirror playing dress-up with his guns And oooooh That winter no one could outrun And oooooh I shoulda left when I was young Grab your coat it's kinda cold outside I'll scrape the ice off the car before we get inside We'll buy some State-line fireworks at the border tonight And remember like the Fourth of July And oooooh I can feel that winter come And oooooh We coulda got out while we're young Grab your coat it's kinda cold outside I'll scrape the ice off the car before we get inside We'll buy some State-line fireworks at the border tonight And remember like the Fourth of July
