lyrics
When I was your age
My friends and I strolled the mall
Got caught shoplifting once, and
It sure pissed off my mom
Yeah, I'll drop you off
Just check back in forty-five
I'll be working all my puzzles in the parking lot
Right Outside
Remember who you are and where you came from
When you're doing all that stupid teenage
Shit I always wish that I had done,
And if you need me I'll be right outside in the Suburban
This is my little way of letting go
And holding on
I low key hope you blow your whole allowance in the arcade
I low key hope a mall cop chases you when you pull a prank
I low key hope you tattoo yourself and you dye your hair
I low key hope you called some punks to meet you there
Meet a cute kid from another school and
sneak into a rated R show
Make out just a little bit
Don't let it goto far though
And if someone picks on you
Sweetie, kick 'em once for me
(You know where)
In case you go to the hospital
Always put on some clean underwear
Remember who you are and where you came from
When you're doing all that stupid teenage
Shit I always wish that I had done,
And if you need me I'll be right outside in the Suburban
This is my little way of letting go
And holding on
I'm holding on to my baby
I'm letting go of my baby
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
And holding on
My friends and I strolled the mall
Got caught shoplifting once, and
It sure pissed off my mom
Yeah, I'll drop you off
Just check back in forty-five
I'll be working all my puzzles in the parking lot
Right Outside
Remember who you are and where you came from
When you're doing all that stupid teenage
Shit I always wish that I had done,
And if you need me I'll be right outside in the Suburban
This is my little way of letting go
And holding on
I low key hope you blow your whole allowance in the arcade
I low key hope a mall cop chases you when you pull a prank
I low key hope you tattoo yourself and you dye your hair
I low key hope you called some punks to meet you there
Meet a cute kid from another school and
sneak into a rated R show
Make out just a little bit
Don't let it goto far though
And if someone picks on you
Sweetie, kick 'em once for me
(You know where)
In case you go to the hospital
Always put on some clean underwear
Remember who you are and where you came from
When you're doing all that stupid teenage
Shit I always wish that I had done,
And if you need me I'll be right outside in the Suburban
This is my little way of letting go
And holding on
I'm holding on to my baby
I'm letting go of my baby
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
And holding on
