Reckless Accomplices
They were hiding out in the back row
And everyone thought they were lost
They let me forget my name
As we pealed the paint off the walls
They said he was jealous of me
Maybe they weren’t wrong
He’d ask me how I’d been
Then laugh and say we don’t have any friends
Throw some ashes in a water bottle
We don’t care what happens tomorrow
Because they all know life’s not fair
Here it feels like we belong somewhere
So kick back your chair
And I’ll kick you in the shins
Summer never has to end
You found her on the kitchen floor
So you weren’t afraid of anything
You tied our hands together
Because other girls always ran away
The bottom of my shoes are still blue
We’re attached by a blade
He’s running his hands across the bars
You’re walking across the stage
I always thought it’d go the other way
Now summer doesn’t taste the same
But I’ll still look at you the way I used to
If you need me to
And everyone thought they were lost
They let me forget my name
As we pealed the paint off the walls
They said he was jealous of me
Maybe they weren’t wrong
He’d ask me how I’d been
Then laugh and say we don’t have any friends
Throw some ashes in a water bottle
We don’t care what happens tomorrow
Because they all know life’s not fair
Here it feels like we belong somewhere
So kick back your chair
And I’ll kick you in the shins
Summer never has to end
You found her on the kitchen floor
So you weren’t afraid of anything
You tied our hands together
Because other girls always ran away
The bottom of my shoes are still blue
We’re attached by a blade
He’s running his hands across the bars
You’re walking across the stage
I always thought it’d go the other way
Now summer doesn’t taste the same
But I’ll still look at you the way I used to
If you need me to
