It's a four-verse song so it's a bit long to read, I get that. I tried to make it as short as possible but still get the point across. Since the song is long, I had to lap the instrumental so I apologize for you having to skip to several different parts.

[Verse 1] 0:13
Bell rang from the school, call rang from her cell
Every day that was over, thank God they didn't yell
The air was so tight, how the tension was felt
"We're just discussing," was a phrase I knew too well
But the days that they fought, I ran into my room
Took my little Minnie and hid us both in a cocoon
Put Coldplay on repeat, I'd press pause then I'd resume
These other girls were handed silver when I was given the greasy spoon
[Pre-Chorus (young girl's voice)] 0:37
"Are they done, did she finally lose?
Oh it only begun? My God, what did they do
Was that a glass, was mommy hurt?
Is this the last, did she pull a Kurt?" [Kurt Cobain]
[Chorus] 1:00
This is so, old school
Please stop, acting cruel
Here they go, being bold
Can you stop, it's getting old!
Whoh-oh-oh-oh, whoh-oh-oh-oh
Go back to two-thousand,
Go back to two-thousand,
Whoh-oh-oh-oh, whoh-oh-oh-oh
Go back to two-thousand, 2009
[Post-Chorus x2] 1:35
The tears just won't end,
The wounds I'm trying to mend,
Go back to two-thousand, 2009
[Verse 2] 2:02
They always were yelling even if a friend came over
You bet I was wishing on stars, I was picking four leaf clovers
Wishing one day the fighting would end, would come to a closure
I know they're tired and all outta lives, just call it game over
But no they was never arguing, they'd call it "discussing"
Since when did discussing involve slammed doors and cussing?
Since when did it involve her saying words so disgusting?
Since when did it involve me feeling like nothing?
They say the grass is always greener on the other side,
No wonder I was always staying by my mother's side
Ever since his arms closed hers were open wide
He moved back to Florida and brushed me aside
As I snuck around the corner, quiet as a mouse
I was tryin so hard not to open my mouth
But as I was about to, that's when things headed south
And I heard the 4 words, "Get out my house"
- small pause-
[Pre-Chorus (young girl's voice)] 2:49
"Are they done, did she finally lose?
Oh it only begun? My God, what did they do
Was that a glass, was mommy hurt?
Is this the last, did she pull a Kurt?"
[Chorus] 3:12
This is so, old school
Please stop, acting cruel
Here they go, being bold
Can you stop, it's getting old!
Whoh-oh-oh-oh, whoh-oh-oh-oh
Go back to two-thousand,
Go back to two-thousand,
Whoh-oh-oh-oh, whoh-oh-oh-oh
Go back to two-thousand, 2009
[Post-Chorus x2] 3:48
The tears just won't end,
The wounds I'm trying to mend,
Go back to two-thousand, 2009
[Verse 3] 2:02
Bell rang from the school, call rang from her cell
Every day that we've been over, nobody would yell
They're getting along better, I think the move did well
They've had time to sit, think, reflect, and dwell
Now the tension is gone, the foggy clouds have faded
All the sins have left, God it all was so jaded
No more angry words, no one was degraded
"Will you move back in?" Is what she now persuaded
I'm so glad we're all getting along, we left the fighting zone
No more back-bending arrows, no more shots being thrown
The friendships were mutual, the relationship had grown
Thank you, God, that we finally left the fighting zone
[Bridge x2] 2:49
Who-o-o-oh, Who-o-o-oh,
Gp back to two-thousand, 2009
[Verse 4] 2:02
January twenty-fifth, it was twenty-twelve
Been a good three years since the escape from Hell
Mom and grandma are best friends, glad all is well
The bell rang from the school, my call rang from her cell
Didn't answer the phone, two hours I called again
But she still didn't answer, it was just 4 PM
Played it off as if she was out, I didn't complain
Until it was 8 that Wednesday and the ring still remained
So we drove to her house, passed all of the stores
Saw people walkin in and out with [s] they didn't pay for,
This place got sketchy at night, that was for sure
I saw the house lights weren't on, so I rushed to the door
Her car was outside the house, her 2002 Toyota
TV shone against her eyes, body propped up on the sofa
Saw my little Minnie on her lap looking at her in dismay
"Oh, she's just asleep" I said and went to turn away
But my mom didn't see her breathe, didn't hear her snore
I went to look at the time, is was 9:34
I turned around again to face the woman I adored
But when I looked at her, my knees dropped dead to the floor
I saw my Minnie on her lap looking at her in confusion
Her skin was pale and clammy, she didn't look human
Her breath wasn't felt and her chest wasn't movin'
Is this all just dream or is this all an illusion?
[Chorus x2] 3:12
This is so, old school
Please stop, acting cruel
Here they are, being bold
Can you stop, it's getting old!
Whoh-oh-oh-oh, whoh-oh-oh-oh
We're back to two-thousand, 2009
Whoh-oh-oh-oh, whoh-oh-oh-oh
We're back to two-thousand, 2009
[Outro (young girl's voice)]
I miss you grandma. |
