The Twistinside-Everclear

We have been sleeping with the lights on Just about every night Because we are afraid what the dark might bring I know I know it's just a childish fear That grows and grows wild in the middle of me I'm gonna get a new tattoo Black and stretching around my arm Like a life that is visable and real I know I know it's stupid and immature I just want to give shape to the face That twists inside Both you and me Breathing fire - doesn't look good on a resume Neither does anything else we do We got to get ready for the real world Yeah yeah we got to grow up You know I like to die for awhile Everyday in the afternoon I like to let the arms of a bar Wrap around me tight I'm just going to sprawl in the front booth Big drink above my head Cross eyes and smiling as I watch the world Go twisting by I don't want to die with you, Or live in the same dark room I don't want to see your bloodshot eyes No more, no more I just want to take this girl- All curls and big brown eyes Man I can't take the pain Of wanting her, needing her I know the secret of your soul And I just don't want to know- Yeah, man we got to grow up
