Swiss Army Romance - Mtv Unplugged Version Lyrics & Chords By Dashboard Confessional

Sleep with all the lights on
You're not so happy, you're not secure
You're dying to look cute in your blue jeans
But you're plastic just like everyone
Just like everyone
And that face you paint is pressed
Impressing most of us as permanent
And I'd like to see you undone
College night will draw the crowds
Dorms unload and you're heading out
Here is your moment to shine
Making up a history
It's nothing from the life you lead
But man, will they buy all your lines?
Sleep with all the sheets off you're bearing
Your mattress, bearing your soul
And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos
But you're searching just like everyone
You could be anyone
And those friends you have are the best
Impressing most of us as permanent
And I'd like to see you undone
Youth's the most unfaithful mistress
Still we forge ahead to miss her
Rushing our moment to shine
Making up a history
It's nothing from the life you lead
But man, will they buy all your lines?
We're not twenty-one, but the sooner we are
The sooner the fun will begin
So get out your fake eyelashes and fake ID's
And real disasters ensue, it's cool to take these chances
It's cool to fake romances and grow up fast
And grow up fast, and grow up fast, and grow up fast
