The Swiss Army Romance

Sleep with all the lights on
 You're not so happy, you're not secure
 And 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
 Bearing your mattress, bearing your soul
 And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos
 But you're searching just like everyone, could be anyone
 And those friends that 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 IDs
 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
