Aaron got me high, it was like that every time He had a way with words, they would echo in my mind I met his older sister Rae before the mill shut down Before I knew their father was the richest man in town We'd stay up all night if we made it up past two We shared the sky those mornings, there was nothing else to do Rae'd be up alone, playing bass or on the phone Or listening to bands that only she would know I told all the boys in the caf before school That Rae took me home so they'd think I was cool And Aaron overheard me while walking on by His eyes turned toward me but he just kept quiet I was up one morning with Aaron sleeping in Rae came home excited and she asked if I would listen Her band had made a demo and she played it just for me It sounded like the ending of a movie or a dream And I told all the boys in the caf before school That Rae took me home so they'd think I was cool When the bell rang she stayed back and pulled me aside And my lie got so real, as I walked home I cried The next time I came over, Rae was at the curb I said: I feel like shit and she said: That's what you deserve I looked down at the driveway and she stared at the street And asked: Is this the kind of man you're going to grow up to be?
