I didn't cause too much trouble at sixteen years old I snuck out and I stole highway signs Piled 'em up in the hallway up against the wall Sidewalks, train stations, construction sites And nobody died, and nobody died I remember the common room was really cold And the vending machines and the snow was iced over outside I drove back, and the bridge had felt way too narrow Over potholes and through yellow lights Did I hug you goodbye? Did I say good night? And I thought I'd see you again under the glow of a soft light Without fluorescent days and nights With no hum, no network TV The consolation prize: With resigned eyes I still held tight And with resigned eyes you still held tight And I'm glad it wasn't like that summer when everybody died I'm such a guarded guy 'cause I've been hurt too many times The first time that I took you to the hospital I was tired and you wanted to die I drove off, and I couldn't understand at all Fuck, I didn't even walk you inside I thought we all wanna die, we all wanna die And I thought that was fine, I thought that was fine, I thought that was fine And I'm glad it wasn't like that summer when everybody died I'm such a guarded guy 'cause I've been hurt too many times
