The Swiss Army Romance by Dashboard Confessional

Sleep with all the lights on.
You're not so happy.
You're not secure.
You're dying to look cute in your blue jeans,
but you're plastic just like everyone
just like everyone.
And that face you paint is pressed,
impressing most of us it's permanent
and I'd like to see you undone.
College night will draw the crowds.
Dorms unload & you're heading out.
Here is your moment to shine.
Making up a history,
it's nothing from the life you lead
but man, will they buy all your lines?
Sleep with all the sheets off
bearing your mattress
bearing your soul.
And your dying to look smooth in your tattoos,
but you're searching just like everyone
could be anyone.
And those friends you have are the best
impressing most of us it's permanent,
but I'd like to see you undone.
Youth's the most unfaithful mistress.
Still we forge ahead to miss her.
Rushing our moment to shine.

Making up a history,
It's nothing from the life you lead
but man, will they buy all of your lines?
We're not twenty-one,
but the sooner we are,the sooner the fun will begin.
So get out your fake eyelashes,
and fake IDs,& real disasters ensue.
It's cool to take these chances.
It's cool to fake romances
& grow up fast
& grow up fast
& grow up fast
& grow up fast.


This really has to be one of the prettiest songs I know. It's so honest and the lyrics are calm and inviting. I just thought I'd share. It's on my playlist, if you'd like to hear it. (:
