The swiss army romance

Sleep with all the lights on.
You´re not so happy.
You´re not secure.
You´re dying to look cute in your blue jeans,
but you´re plastic just like everyone.
You´re just like everyone.
And that face you paint is pressed
impressing most of us as permanent
and I´d like to see you undone.
College night will draw the crowds.
Dorms unload and your heading out.
Here is your moment to shine.
Making up a history.
It´s nothing from the life you lead
but man, will they buy all your lines.
Sleep with all the sheets off
bearing your mattress
bearing your soul.
And you´re dying to look smooth with your tattoos
but you´re searching just like everyone
could be anyone.
And the friends that you have are the best
impressing most of us as permanent
and I´d like to see you undone.
Youth´s the most unfaithful mistress.
Still we forge ahead to miss her.
Rushing our moment to shine.
Making up a history,
It´s nothing from the life you lead
but man will they buy all your lines.
We´re not twenty-one,
but the sooner we are,
the sooner the fun will begin,
so get out your fake eyelashes,
and fake i.d´s,
And real disasters ensue,
it´s cool to take these chances.
It´s cool to fake romances
And grow up fast
And grow up fast
And grow up fast
And grow up fast.
You´re not so happy.
You´re not secure.
You´re dying to look cute in your blue jeans,
but you´re plastic just like everyone.
You´re just like everyone.
And that face you paint is pressed
impressing most of us as permanent
and I´d like to see you undone.
College night will draw the crowds.
Dorms unload and your heading out.
Here is your moment to shine.
Making up a history.
It´s nothing from the life you lead
but man, will they buy all your lines.
Sleep with all the sheets off
bearing your mattress
bearing your soul.
And you´re dying to look smooth with your tattoos
but you´re searching just like everyone
could be anyone.
And the friends that you have are the best
impressing most of us as permanent
and I´d like to see you undone.
Youth´s the most unfaithful mistress.
Still we forge ahead to miss her.
Rushing our moment to shine.
Making up a history,
It´s nothing from the life you lead

It´s cool to fake romances
And grow up fast
And grow up fast
And grow up fast
And grow up fast.
