Safety Pins

[Intro] (da da da) (da da da) [Verse 1] Found my old box in the attic Cardboard smells like ninety-nine Pull out this heavy denim coat Safety pins along the collar Three safety pins I put them there myself Thought I looked so dangerous Walking to the corner store [Chorus] God I was trying so hard (so hard so hard) Standing like I had something to prove Scowling in the back of the class God I was trying so hard Why was I so mad at nineteen [Verse 2] Stitched an anarchy patch on backwards Nobody told me for a month Thought the lady at the store hated me Turns out I just couldn't sew Fourteen bucks from thrift store bins Spitting on the sidewalk for effect My mom made me soup that night I complained about the temperature [Chorus] God I was trying so hard (so hard so hard) Standing like I had something to prove Scowling in the back of the class God I was trying so hard Why was I so mad at nineteen [Bridge] Now my knees hurt when it rains My hair is getting thin And I'm cringing at a coat I haven't touched in twenty years (twenty years) [instrumental] [Chorus] God I was trying so hard (so hard so hard) Standing like I had something to prove Scowling in the back of the class God I was trying so hard Why was I so mad at nineteen [Outro] Safety pins in a cardboard tub I fold it up again (fold it up) Close the box (close the box)
