Aidan Jack Finnecy - The Pet Store lyrics

Artist: Aidan Jack Finnecy

album: The Pet Store


I applied for a job
At the pet store
The girl who interviewed me was really nice
She asked if I like school
I said "not really
She said "Yeah I dropped out, it's alright
I relaxed and asked "why
Cause I've been thinking of doing the same
She said "I barely showed up in my last year
I was never meant to be there in the first place
In the first place
She asked me some questions but I barely listened
"What about your parents? What about the rules
"I started working full time, so my parents were happy
I went to LA, it was pretty cool
"And what about the school? How did that work
Did you tell them in person? Did they want you to stay
She laughed and smiled sadly, shook her head
"They didn't even notice when I went away
They didn't even notice when I went away
A few minutes later she stopped mid sentence
"Oh wait, they did reach out to my
Parents, they asked for my textbooks back
So they could teach more teenagers to wanna die
And what about you? You said you don't like school
What do you do there when you have spare time
"Honestly nothing, I go to the bathroom
Hit my friends dab pen, get really high
I waited for a phone call
They never called me, so I went back
The same girl was there
She said they went in a different direction
But she had my back
I don't know why I can still remember
Every detail about that time
But every once in awhile something will take me back
And for some strange reason I'll feel alive
Every now and then, I pass the pet store
It's just a building, but it's also a home
It's not like I go there, in fact I haven't since then
But I think of it when I'm alone
And maybe in five years, when I'm famous
The owner will tell everyone
Who will listen that I almost worked here
"We're still in touch, we're like father and son
