《The Graduates》歌词

[00:00:00] The Graduates - Speedy Ortiz

[00:00:16] We were the french club dropouts

[00:00:21] But we never got excused from class

[00:00:26] The secretary must have been high

[00:00:29] To turn her blind eye on us sneaking out back

[00:00:34] And we were pregnant on the balcony

[00:00:38] And you caught me with a cigarette

[00:00:43] I never put this thing on my lips

[00:00:46] Just crushed it and spit on where I laid it to rest

[00:00:58] I was the best at being second place

[00:01:02] But now I'm just the runner-up

[00:01:06] At being the second one you think of every day

[00:01:11] Before you go back to one

[00:01:24] We were the law school rejects

[00:01:28] So we quarrelled at the bar instead

[00:01:33] Shot out in four words or less

[00:01:35] You want to jail you want a mess

[00:01:37] You have the right to drink less

[00:01:41] Then we were floating on a balcony

[00:01:45] And I fell into a trampoline

[00:01:50] I never should've looked for a hand

[00:01:52] From that invisible push me pull you pushin' on me

[00:02:01] I was the best at being second place

[00:02:04] But now I'm just the silvery dread

[00:02:09] And only in the shape of a bullet

[00:02:12] Am I ever the shape you see when you wake up dead

[00:02:20] So will you cauterize the bleeding or bastardize the meaning

[00:02:26] I'm the one worth seeing

[00:02:29] As riven friend I guess that's the extent

[00:02:33] More than assisted when you cut inside the paper

[00:02:36] To project it from the lighthouse and eject it out into the void

[00:02:58] I was the best at being second place

[00:03:06] Oh I was the best at being second place

[00:03:15] I was the best at being second place

[00:03:23] Oh I was the best at being second place

[00:03:32] I was the best at being second place

[00:03:36] But now I'm just the runner-up

[00:03:40] And only the second one you think of every day
