lirik lagu speedy ortiz - the graduates
[verse 1]
we were the french club dropouts
but we never got excused from cl-ss
the secretary must have been high
to turn a blind eye on us sneaking out back
and we were pregnant on the balcony
and you caught me with a cigarette
i never put the thing on my lips
just crushed it and spit on where i laid it to rest
[chorus]
i was the best at being second place
but now i’m just the runner-up
at being the second one you think of every day
before you go back to one
[verse 2]
we were the law school rejects
so we quarrelled at the bar instead
shot out in four words or less
you want a jail, you want a mess, you have the right to drink less
then we were floating on a balcony
and i fell into a trampoline
i never should’ve looked for a hand
from an invisible pushmi-pullyu pushin’ on me
[chorus]
i was the best at being second place
but now i’m just the silver you dread
and only in the shape of a bullet
am i ever the shape you see when you wake up dead
[bridge]
so will you cauterize the bleeding or b-st-rdize the meaning?
i’m the one worth seeing
as a waif, a friend, i guess that’s the extent
more than -ssisted when you cut inside the paper
to project it from the lighthouse and eject it out into the void
[outro]
i was the best at being second place
oh, i was the best at being second place
i was the best at being second place
oh, i was the best at being second place
i was the best at being second place
but now i’m just the runner-up
and only the second one you think of every day
