The girls are kinda flirting with the setting sun.

we kissed in your car and we drank from your purse.

we had some massive nights. 
every song was right. 
all that wine was tight. 
your friends were pretty cool. 
and my friends were acting cool.

[ VERSE 2 ] - no guitar, bass only
 
there weren't any fights. 
there's usually one or two. 
some guys they get a little bit uptight. 
some girls they got something to prove.
we had some massive highs. 
we had some crushing lows. 
we had some lusty little crushes.
we had those all ages hardcore matinee shows.

### Repeat as above

i was down on my knees when the chaperone said that it was time for me to leave.
