They were just some people I knew
Those days when I wasn't so blue
We'd sing on the beach
Or tear up the streets
They were just some people I knew
He was just a friend of mine
Back when I was alive
He'd show me the chords
And I'd scream him the words
He was just a friend of mine
She was just some girl I hurt
The summer she made me shake first
She'd wait in her car
And the ride back was far
She was just some girl I hurt
And it was just some song I wrote
The only way I know how to tell a joke
And a stampede on the floor
But who's all this love for?
It was just some song I wrote
They were just some people I knew
Those days when we went to the zoo
We'd always bring snacks
And travel in packs
They were just some people I knew
He was just a friend of mine
Back when we'd walk all night
My shoes fell in the harbor
And I jumped in the water
He was just a friend of mine
She was just some girl I hurt
The summer away was the worst
I'd cry in the car
While she'd shuffle the cards
She was just some girl I hurt
Where do you think you're going so fast?
I'm not impressed with an apology like that
I know you didn't have a choice
I know you didn't have a
Why are you so quiet today?
I'd speak if I had something to say
Besides these stories that I made up
So I can feel better about the way
That she looks at me
And God damn it can't you see
In the green of her eyes
She knows I didn't try
And come on boys
Cut the noise
The neighbors getting annoyed
It's been four hours of you sobbing
In that raspy little voice
And I know you didn't have a choice
I know you didn't have a choice
But that's not much f*cking consolation now
