Looking Back On The 7th Grade Lyrics

Looking back on the 7th grade

In a tiny house that became our grave

Mom and dad could not be saved

But I'm sure they really tried

I hit myself 'cause I hated me

And I couldn't laugh 'cause the future seemed

Like something that I'd never see

If I drank enough at night

Sneaking out the window

So that I could play guitar

With people just like me

Misfits in the daytime

Find the nighttime is the place

That finally sets us free

I didn't know it then

But I was searching for a dream

Hoping that there's something

That I'd probably like to me

Nothing matters when you're young

You think that everything is dumb

It's not

Even when you're broke

A little love

Can make a life seem worth a lot

I didn't disappear

I found my friends

And I am glad

That's what I got

La la la la la la la

Looking Back On The 7th Grade

La la la la la la la

Looking back

Moved across the town one day

And found a better house they say

It seemed to me we'd be okay

But I was really wrong

Came home from school and the dog had died

And we never got to say goodbye

And I had a guess to the reason why

They would never get along.

Life could be good

But it'd be hard to say

That life was never sad

We used to sneak out

Cause every night

The fighting got so bad

Riding down the street

With both my sisters on my bike

Hiding from the violence

That sometimes had been our lives

Nothing matters when you're young

You think that everything is dumb

It's not

Even when you're scared

A little love

Can help you straighten out your shot

I didn't disappear

I found my friends

And I am glad

That's what I got

Every little thing that I get to do

Well I really want to spend a little time with you

Oh yea

I didn't disappear

I found my friends

And I am glad

That's what I got

Every little thing that I get to do

Well I really want to spend a little time with you

Oh yea

I didn't disappear

I found my friends

And I am glad

That's what I got
