Verse: 
please don't padlock your parent's bomb shelter 
or fill her up with dust and ash 
a landfill mecca for burnouts 
and listless adolescent sour mash 
 
i'm not saying that i've earned love 
but i could really use it now 
so turn out the lights over and over and over 
we'll figure out the rest somehow
