I took Ohio by storm I wore my heart out on my sleeve What a god damn mess All these mistakes I have made I left the coke heads The junkie broads And my alcoholic friends For a life that meant something more Yeah I thought it did And I felt my blood rush I felt my heart beat My dad said never settle but I could settle here I got drunk as hell In that shit dive My dad said never waste your youth but this could be my life I left the metal bar alone To find my friends puking in the street Laughing up a storm With their hands around their knees Chocked down a few smokes For the good times and our new boring lives Toasted to the morning Sang old songs to the street lights I felt my blood rush I felt my heart beat My dad said never settle but I could settle here I got drunk as hell In that shit dive My dad said never waste your youth but this could be my life And you You've got those bad knees Hips that I love but girl you're falling apart If this is summer love Then thank god London's calling in the fall We're wild in the summer Yeah undress all the sunburns Let's address that we're all make believe And nothing really true Is ever truly real
