You don't believe in curfew

so you're staying out past twelve

You know you've really done it this time

you're too into yourself

You've got pictures of your parents

they don't occupy your shelf

You don't know what you're doing

but you're putting them through hell

If that's the cards you wanna throw

you really ought to know

There are things in life that you can

change and some you can't control

Like an addiction to nicotine or an addiction to coke

Some of which are in your realm

the others have you in a choke

Hold onto me

Flora, I (I)

Haven't fеlt you in weeks

You lost all motivation when 'ole Danny moved away

You thought that you could nеver

live up to the standard that he made

Well, guess what?

You will never live unless you learn to be okay

With the fact that time is fleeting

and your legs aren't long enough to chase

Fireball with chocolate milk and heaven hill with soap

You stole the keys to dad's Camaro

just to see how far you'd go

Now you're out of gas in Baltimore and you can't bum a smoke

Should've thought that through before

you put yourself in such a choke

Hold (Hold) onto me

Flora, I (I)

Haven't felt you in weeks

When your engine fails, you'll find

Your wheels, although derailed

Maintain in tact and full of air

You're safe for now, just stay right there

But if you wander off too far

You won't know who you truly are

Your tank will drain and render out

And you won't get your car to start

You'll run away and flea the scene

You'll lose the chance you have to see

You'll lose the chance you have to be

The person that you had always dreamed

What's to believe in? You don't know

What is there to do when you're alone?

What has been keeping you afloat

But has you held in such a choke?

Hold (Hold) onto me

Flora, I (I)

Haven't felt you in weeks

Hold (Hold) onto me

Flora, why (Why) do you have me losin' sleep?
