Compound Sentences

I'm hoping that you know

That every time it snows

I'm thinking 'bout how we'd all get fast food, oh

Those years ago

At the Long Gate Shopping Center

With a twenty our moms lent us to get some food

And just wouldn't you know, our stomachs weren't as big as our eyes

We all ordered six cheeseburgers and five large french fries

Yeah, we all I felt so bad

I bet we all felt so bad, we couldn't finish our food

Yeah, there's no point in goin' backwards

What's passed is in the past

Just sit here writing compound sentences and

Wondering how long this feeling will last

This year I asked for an accordion, just like my heroes, please

So I could bang out some fun songs just like they do on MTV

But I'm no good at the keys, you see

I'm no good at the keys, good as I can be

These days I got way too much shit to do and records to ship out

And tonight, I'm sorry, I gotta cancel, I just can't afford to go out

I keep repeating the same pattern of just laying on my mattress till I doze off

Yeah, there's no point in goin' backwards

What's passed is in the past

Just sit here writing compound sentences and

Wondering how long this feeling will last

Yeah, I don't mean to sound redundant, but I think I've been succumbing

And I've only got 'bout three strings left on this guitar I'm strumming

But I kinda long for dying

I guess this is what it means to be one of the guys

I've found that this just goes to show, that I don't really know

Why I think about you about almost nearly every time it snows

Well I hope if you come back

That we can can all go out out and get some fast food

I guess there's a point in backwards

I kinda miss the past

For now, I'll write my compound sentences

And hope and pray that this feeling won't last
