lyrics

tongues too young for poetry
and too obviously inexperienced to hide
all the genuine sincerity
with which we recite all these flawlessly memorized lines

i know that we are not in love
curse these sap poets for what they've convinced us of
if somebody'd warn us just before the plane goes down
maybe we could jump off a few inches above the ground
and salvage this summer

way too young to make any sense
of how the passing of time could make the slightest bit of difference
or how certain factors might still come into play
how brilliance at night might seem stupid in the sober light of day

i know that she is not the one
and she'll know it too in a couple months
when i show my true colors and she recognizes her true taste
and all this bad poetry starts to seem like huge waste
but if we keep our wits about us and acknowledge our mistakes
then it could still be a good summer

i know that we are not in love
curse these sap poets for what they've convinced us of
if somebody'd warn us just before the plane goes down
maybe we could jump off a few inches above the ground
and salvage this summer
