Jeans with a Jean Jacket

For so long, I never really knew you I always thought you were the villains For so long, it never really plagued me I never knew what I was missin' I know you were trying I just didn't know it then I'm sorry it took me so long To see you as friends Well nobody's perfect And we've got a long way to go Our pain does not define us It only helps us grow Even if it's something dumb and mundane Like cooking tips or rating movies We're far away but closer than ever I truly see you finally I know you were tryin' I just didn't know it then I'm sorry it took me so long To see you as friends Well nobody's perfect And we've got a long way to go Our pain does not define us It only helps us grow People say, "Don't turn out like your parents" But I believe that I can hack it I don't care if anyone thinks it's tacky I'll wear jeans with a jean jacket Whoa-whoa-whoa I know you were trying I just didn't know it then I'm sorry it took me so long To see you as friends Well nobody's perfect And we've got a long way to go Our pain does not define us It only helps us grow Our pain does not define us It only helps us grow
