Verse 1: Hey, don't write yourself off yet (Once a whore you're nothing more I'm sorry that'll never change) It doesn't matter if it's good enough (Once a whore you're nothing more I'm sorry that'll never change) for someone else Burning on (don't wanna be an American idiot) I'm feeling this! Do you have the time? (It was mine) Be there (to listen to me whine) I'm feeling this! It just takes some time (when you see my face) She took my hand (don't wanna be an American idiot) Of everyone you knew (Once a whore you're nothing more I'm sorry that'll never change) Fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer I'm feeling this! Place your hand in mine, I'll leave when I wanna (I'm melting)
Chorus 1: We're goin' down, down, in an earlier round, and sugar we're going down swinging (where do we go from here?) Sometime I give myself the creeps (that's what you get) I'm melting! We're going down, down, in an earlier round and sugar we're going down swinging (turn all the lights down now) It just takes some time (five minutes to midnight) Move along, move along, like I know you do Everything will be alright, alright, Everything will be alright, alright (like I know you do) Everything will be alright, alright, Everything will be alright, alright (like I know you do)
Verse 2: Stacy, can I come over? She's getting kicked out of school 'cause she's failing (it makes no sense at all!) I'm kinda nervous 'cause I think she'll imitate me (after school) I wake up every evening (dear maria, count me in) With a big smile on my face, and it never feels out of place. Our lips (see that line? I never should have crossed it) Our lips (but I will shy away from the specifics)
Chorus 2: 'Cause I'm in too deep (turn it up) Soul meets body (meet when I wanna) I'll be your number one with a bullet 'Cause that's just who I am this week (I'm on fire) That's what you get when trying to keep perfect for one whole minute. (Stacy's mom) I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Stacy's mom. (It just takes some time) I'm melting! (Here) I'm melting! (So long and goodnight) My friends over you!
Interlude: Don't count on me (I was just counting on) I'm feeling this! Don't count me (I hope that it'll be alright, alright) Teenagers scare the living shit out of me! (When you see my face hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.) You might as well embrace it. You know I'm not the little boy that I used to be (so believe me, it's not easy) I'm all grown up now... Something's tell me...
Chorus 3: I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep buh-buh-buh in my head, instead of going under, instead of going under I'm melting! cuz I'm in too deep and I'm trying to keep up above in my head, instead of going under I'm melting! (I'm on fire!) Instead of going under again (when you see my face hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell) Instead of going under, instead of going under again (when you see my face hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell) I'm melting! Instead of going under again I'm on fire. (when you see my face hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell) *Soul Meets Body chorus vocal line*
It's the very moment that I wish that I could take back.
