always wanted to learn to skateboard
you look so fine out there
your head is down
you're laughing, you're smiling, you're bleeding
but you don't really care
but you know
the way home in the dark
we hung out almost everyday
right up until summer break
and you came to visit in the fall
we were best friends ever since then
but you lost it in founder's hall
so call me
i've missed you since i left
i took a long walk off a long pier
and you appeared
i took a long walk off a long pier
and you appeared in the water out there
jackets on, cul-de-sac talk
you were in love when greg pulled up
but you don't wanna talk about her
she never knew your name
maybe there's still no one to blame
you took a long walk in the streets of annapolis
just to see her face
you took a long walk off a long pier
and she appeared in the water out there
but you never knew her name
she had a sweet smile in a sweet place
hit your sweet spot with her sweet face
and you fell in love with the checkout girl
at the ice cream store at the top of the world
you were losing yourself
to reckless affection
and i can't think of a better way to die
