Tommy says when I was 16
All that I wanted was bright and clean
Now that I know what it's like to have sex
I wanna see something that I've never seen
Don't be the one who writes love songs for pretty girls
Insensitive smokers with cigarette eyes
Keep chasing hopelessness, tom-boys are dangerous
And it shows in your
Tommy says that Portland is great
Half the cool girls, yeah they look the same
Oh yeah Tommy?
What do these other ones look like?
They look like the cool boys, but they're the ones that I crave goddamnit
Your style, your smile
I love you no matter where you spend the night
You can always come back to me
Because I'm nothing, and you are everything
