I know what it's like to be alone sitting in your room
Listening to all the doubts that your parents have to say to you
And as your head gets all cluttered inside
Try to stay awake
Everything they say are lies
That's all the shit that you ever have to take
So hold in all your aggressions
Because your grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin
It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at everything they say as
They tell you what to be you're not alone
I know what it's like to be denied at everything you do
It's not the same reason why that
Makes you change the things that you once knew
As your head gets all cluttered inside
Give more than you take
Everything they say are lies
That's all the shit that you ever have to take
So hold in all your aggressions
Because your grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin
It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at everything they say as
They tell you what to be you're not alone
You say you want to take off your shoes and
Walk barefoot down the street
Just to be the things that you can be
Just live for one more week, go!
You say you want to take off your shoes just to
Walk barefoot down the street
Just to be the things that you can be
Just live for one more week
So hold in all your aggressions
Because your grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin
It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at everything they say as
They tell you what to be you're not alone
Listening to all the doubts that your parents have to say to you
And as your head gets all cluttered inside
Try to stay awake
Everything they say are lies
That's all the shit that you ever have to take
So hold in all your aggressions
Because your grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin
It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at everything they say as
They tell you what to be you're not alone
I know what it's like to be denied at everything you do
It's not the same reason why that
Makes you change the things that you once knew
As your head gets all cluttered inside
Give more than you take
Everything they say are lies
That's all the shit that you ever have to take
So hold in all your aggressions
Because your grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin
It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at everything they say as
They tell you what to be you're not alone
You say you want to take off your shoes and
Walk barefoot down the street
Just to be the things that you can be
Just live for one more week, go!
You say you want to take off your shoes just to
Walk barefoot down the street
Just to be the things that you can be
Just live for one more week
So hold in all your aggressions
Because your grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin
It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at everything they say as
They tell you what to be you're not alone

This song was my anthem in middle school.
For me, at least, this song is just about growing up and being anxious, restless, and mad that you can't live your life the way you want to. But you're stuck with you're parents until you get to college and you just gotta grin and bear it. There's no use getting yourself all worked up about it because there's nothing you can do, you might as well laugh at how ridiculous you think their prerogative is. This song is saying, hang on, kid, it gets better, I swear.
You say you want to take off your shoes just to
Walk barefoot down the street
Just to be the things that you can be
Just live for one more week (Go!)
but the song talks bout tom comforting one of his friends when the friends parent tell how they are fuckin up all the time and such. pretty simple meaning actually.
