Prom night's over and it's back to the nightmare
Pictures on a phone documenting despair
Did I wear the right dress and how was my hair?
It's no wonder I lost out, but who cares?
Well I care...
I thought it'd be fun, I thought it'd be cool
To run around dressed up in those mile high shoes
But all I got were blisters on my bare feet
And the promise of mediocrity
When I get back to class
Who will ask if I was there?
Getting back home early
To Mom and Dad sneaking upstairs.
No photos outside
Just a beat up old car.
That 95 Jetta
Sure never got me too far.
I know that one day this will be a faint memory
But I sure fantasized about kissing the prom king
The captain of the football team
But why would he wanna be with little ol' me?
But I swear I've got more to give
I can hold my own I've got dreams not kids
Almost 18 and not sure of myself
But fuck them all cause I'll be living well.
