[Verse
Never made it on the basketball team
Because my shoes fell off in P.E
And I got a tummy ache every time I had to swim
A skirt too short or a blouse too tight
I would do anything in my power just to look right
But all the girls snuck makeup in the bathrooms
[Verse 2
I'm getting used to the bleach smell on my clothes
And getting good grades for the boys I don't like
Whispered things to me through the winter comin'
Fell into the lips of the boys who played ball
Why do girls get used to lovin' these animals?
I'll try to look pretty even if I don't want to
Want to
[Chorus
I can't believe that you were the best years of my life
All good things fall apart and you were part of mine
Can I get my money back and a ticket to the sky (*And a ticket to the sky*)
Is it too late to take you back in my paralyzed mind
[Verse 3
School uniform
We just sat around in our school uniforms
Like it was some kinda cult (*Oh no*)
Strollin' the halls like we were invincible (*Oh no*)
They said at their school the water runs cold
Ours ran cold too
But we weren't that bold
And I still cringe at the sound of the whistle
[Verse 4
Singin' in the rain
And talkin' in our sleep
Till the pencil goes down
And so does our grade
Eat all the candy that you want
You'll throw it up anyway
We always laughed at the babes
Now look who's holding it like a babe
[Verse 5
Having flashbacks to doin' lines in the Clementine bathroom
Not like that
The thick cleanser with cold water
With a rag in hand
All our rags were Clementine orange
My friends liked to hide them in their bags on trips when we toured
We would sell them in foreign stores online for pocket money
Spoons and forks
They say never speak badly of a cult
But I never really got that memo
And we never used diversity scores
