School Night Lyrics

Stop I didn't quite catch that?

Over the sound of my own voice

The whole year's going on down to the lake

Oh the burden of choice

Okay but remember what happened last time

The invitation was a pack of lies

You mow the lawn in a suit and tie

So your nickname's pretty justified darling

So put your best dress on and your left foot forward

Better take care of your heels because we do a lot of running

Now you won't let slip but there's something funny

My shoes are clean

The time is right

Your mother says you can't

Because it's a school night

I wouldn't put up a fight

Because she scares me to death

Just like prom there was no one there

No white limo's gonna take you home

I need to leave my phone alone tonight

Because it's only gonna hurt more

I could've seen to all my work but

I'm standing here dressed like a clown

But I know my friends are dominoes

Someday they'll all fall down

I'm sure of it now

So put your best dress on and your left foot forward

Better take care of your heels because we do a lot of running

Now you won't let slip but there's something funny

My shoes are clean

The time is right

Your mother says you can't

Because it's a school night

I wouldn't put up a fight

Because she scares me to death

I'm not gonna be Carrie

There ain't a spot of blood on this dress

I'm just gonna get mighty mighty drunk

Until the populars are all impressed

But that's not the way I roll

I feel something beautiful and that's right
