here it goes and this won't take long
just let me dedicate a song
to a girl who turned this boy to stone
and you know who you are
here's a hint
she dosen't have a car
or the time to be in love with me

why did you say
this feeling has to stay
left me to wait for so long
you don't have to stay
but i hoped you will anyway
all you did was up and go

excuse me, but this won't take long
i'm sorry for writing you this song
but just what do you think you deserve
because when you have a chance
for romance
you burned it at both ends
i guess i'm not sorry in the least

why did you say
this feeling has to stay
breaking this up for so long
you don't have to stay
but i hoped you will anyway
all you did was up and go

you don't have to go
what makes you stay we'll never know
all you do is up and go

up and go
up and go
what would make you stay
up and go
what would make you stay
i guess we'll never know
i guess we'll never know
i guess we'll never know

you don't have to stay
but i hoped you will anyway
all you did was up and go

you don't have to go
what makes you stay we'll never know
all you do is up and go

up and go
i guess we'll never know

    General Comment:Kenny really does write some of the worst lyrics ive ever seen...ill admit theyre pretty tight as a band, but he also plays about two notes per measure, and yet ive heard at least four music reviews call his playing "Rock solid action on the bass" or some crap...now their new stuff sounds wayyy too much like days away....geez

    General Comment:actually this songs about a 12 year old girl that ken thought was 14. she gave him head in the back of the cobalt cafe in canoga park, ca, and being the cliche emo dude he is, he wanted a relationship or something so he did sentimental kareoke to an nfg cd, and voila-- up and go. ken, brah, you might look 12, but she was 12. cheer up kiddo.

    General Comment:hahaha i have to laugh at punkerchik06.... "Even though they sound kinda pop-punk...they still kick ass! " haha sounds kinda pop-punk... what the hell do you think they are???

    p.s. it is a good song, but i still like some of the old stuff better, as in "west girl scout road" and "leaving"
