Dream Pony - COUNTERING Lyrics

You hear that bell and you run outside
Down the hill suburban countryside
The lunchtime gymnastics routines
The popular girls will make the scene
And you will run until your lungs will burst
The things you hold inside you know they hurt
And your throat is choking up
The words have died inside your gut

You know that smile won't last forever
This young love will die old
You know that smile won't last forever
Maybe this old love will die young

Said you loved him when he treated you wrong
What can I say, I'll sing you a song
A long walk home through the neighborhood
As I reflect on things I wish I could
Explain to you why I feel this way
It made me feel good that you think I'm strange
I'm fictional character in your novella
The only time I felt a little better

You know that smile won't last forever
This young love will die old
You know that smile won't last forever
Maybe this old love will die young

You wish you could be this old
And now that you're here
You've taken control
Or maybe you were never quite sure
The mistakes you make here
Are the mistakes you made there
All the things that you'd think you'd become
Well you'd settle for half if you could do it again
And why are you so sorry so much
It's like you think you ain't worthy enough

You know that smile won't last forever
This young love will die old
You know that smile won't last forever
Maybe this old love will die young
