I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll never know
And some secrets weren't meant to be told
I found the cure to growing older
I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
Oh, and I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lip
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place, brace yourself
They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
But for what we've become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've got against what I left
So progress report: I am missing you to death
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Always borrowed
Always you
I found a cure to growing older
I found a cure to growing older
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll never know
And some secrets weren't meant to be told
I found the cure to growing older
I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
Oh, and I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lip
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place, brace yourself
They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
But for what we've become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've got against what I left
So progress report: I am missing you to death
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Always borrowed
Always you
I found a cure to growing older
I found a cure to growing older
[Chorus:Repeat x2]

it's so fitting, so fitting
of the way you are
can't cover it up, can't cover it up
LOVED.
Sorry, I had to share. No one else will get it. You guys are cool, you can be in on it.
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
always blue
Someone old
No one new
Always borrowed
Always you
Pokes fun at the fear of commitment.
It is basically a song dedicated to putting people in their place.
that line is so bitterly cute
It's just so epic.
And you're the only place that feels like home- other girls feel distant compared to her
Just so you know, you'll never know- telling her she wont know about his past ?
And some secrets weren't meant to be told- she has told things about him ? maybe leaked photos ?
I found the cure to growing older
I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends- cliche from all bands, sarcasm
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again-saying he has no emotions towards her
And I've got arrogance down to a science- hes a very arrogant boy :)
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up- she tries to hide herself
Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lip- telling her to be worried
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped- all her stuff left at his house
Back to your family cause I know you will be missed- sending it so he isnt reminded of her ?
They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone- being called cold
But for what we've become, we just feel more alone- after the fame, they feel more cosed off
Always weigh what I've lost against what I left- thinking about the pros and cons of the girl
Progress report: I am missing you to death- relised he misses her lots
Someone old- its always been her ?
No one new- he cant move on
Feeling borrowed- used by other girls
always blue- blue as in sad
Someone old
No one new
Always borrowed
Always you
I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll never know
And some secrets weren't meant to be told
I found the cure to growing older
(sometime when a young man gets his heart broken, he acts like an asshole instead of revealing his true feelings. this is immature and something most of us do in life when coping with hearbreak. comming to terms with something is grownup, whereas denying it and becoming cold hearted would be a "cure to growing older")
I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
(he has feelings for this girl but he will act like a brat, ignoring his conscience, only to convince her that he is doing fine without her)
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
(hes taunting her in almost a jealous way. maybe she is trying to act the same as him but he wants her to know her efforts are fruitless, "you cant cover it up" (the pain)
Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lip
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family cause I know you will be missed
(warning her to expect the worst from him. he sends her stuff back to her family in this cliche routine of a breakup because he will miss her and reminice with all her shit lying around his place)
They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
But for what we've become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've lost against what I left
Progress report: I am missing you to death
(they say we are heartless and mean, but in reality we will hurt the most in the end. the bad we do on others at this young age will leave us bitter and alone in the future. I think the lyric goes "always weigh what ive GOT against what i LEFT" what he has now doesnt compare to what he left behind and took for granted)
Someone old (im older)
No one new (same girls in/out my life)
Feeling borrowed (no permanent commitment)
always blue (sad, obviously)
Someone old (my old flame[you])
No one new (theres never been another love like her)
Always borrowed
Always you (its always been you)
(its like he enjoys torturing her and watching her pine over their lost love in the beginning. i feel like he loved her though, and maybe leaving her broke his heart too. but by the end, he confesses that his actions will take him down a path of regret and solitude. she is the one that got away, because he couldnt grow up. she feels like he could care less about her and that he has moved on, but his actions are simply a defense mechanism.)
just a thought...
