Didn't give up at 14 when everybody said
It was just like the dream they had
See, this is how it goes, in in-and-out flows
And no, summer never lasts
Come on now, let's wake up, you see what you want
Everyone already has
Couldn't give up at 18 when everybody said
It was just like the dream they, they had

Waking up in the sun, sandpaper tongue
Red stripe across my back
Hearing your voice sing like a choir
“What am I looking at? ”

Ave Maria
Last time that I try to catch you
I thought if I looked nice, then I would feel nice
And you would see me right, you would see me right
But it was an old lie, it was a cold lie
It was a long night, a long night

I don't wear a coat on cold days, train to Rahway
Running down Adderall
Writing the line of my life, finally gonna go right
And I can justify it all
Come on, now let's wake up, 'cause it's never enough
You're always gonna hear me wrong
I wouldn't give up at 18, 'cause everybody said
It was just like a dream they had
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Waking up in the sun, sandpaper tongue
Red stripe across my back
Hearing your voice sing like a choir
“What am I looking at? ”

Ave Maria
Last time that I try to catch you
I thought if I looked nice, then I would feel nice
And you would see me right, you would see me right
But it was an old lie, it was a cold lie
It was a long night, a long night
I thought if I looked nice, then I would feel nice
And you would see me right, you would see me right
But it was an old lie, it was a cold lie
It was a long night, a long

I'm throwing out a Hail Mary
It's gotta get to you, time is ticking away
I'm throwing out a Hail Mary
I gotta get to you, time is ticking away

Ave Maria, Ave Maria
I thought if I looked nice, then I would feel nice (Ave Maria)
And you would see me right, you would see me right
But it was an old lie, it was a cold lie (Ave Maria)
It was a long night, a long
I thought if I looked nice, then I would feel nice (Ave Maria)
And you would see me right, you would see me right
But it was an old lie, it was a cold lie (Ave Maria)
It was a long night, a long

Waking up in the sun, sandpaper tongue (Ave Maria)
Red stripe across my back
Hearing your voice sing like a choir
“What am I looking at? ”
