Seventy Times 7

Back in school they never taught us

what we needed to know

Like how to deal with despair

or someone breakin your heart

For twelve years I've held it all together

but a night like this is beggin to pull me apart

I played it quiet left you deep in conversation

I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen

I remember I kept thinking

that I know you never would

And now I know I want to kill you

like only a best friend could

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

Everyone's caught on to...

As if it happening wasn't enough

I got to go and write a song

just to remind myself how bad it sucked

Ignore the sun, covers over my head

Wrote a message on my pillow that says

Jesse, stay asleep in bed

Don't apologize (I hope you choke and die!)

Search your cell for something which to hang yourself

They say you need to pray

if you want to go to heaven

But they don't tell you what to say

when your whole life has gone to Hell!

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

Everyone's caught on to...

(and I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

(and I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to...

So is that what you call a getaway?

Tell me what you got away with

Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish

I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids

Have another drink and drive yourself home

I hope there's ice on all the roads

And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt

and again when your head goes through the windshield

Is that what you call tact?

You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

So let's end this call and end this conversation

And is that what you call a getaway?

Tell me what you got away with

Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed

when you say best friends means friends forever

Is that what you call a getaway?!!

Tell me what you got away with!!

Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish!!

I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids!!

Have another drink and drive yourself home!!

I hope there's ice on all the roads!!

And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt

then when your head goes through the windshield!!

(I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

(and I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to...

(I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

(and I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to...
