Lyrics McCafferty – Wolves Like You

If I don’t run away right now
Then I will never leave this shithole town
But I was voted back in school to succeed
Now I am sitting here every night reading

My mom ran when she had to
I never return what I steal
I hated going to prom with her
I probably should’ve taken you
But I’m an asshole, asshole, yeah
At least according to your friends
But I love the way you smell tonight
And I love the way this ends, alright

But we can only drown ourselves so quickly
I was running on the shore, so maybe
There was water in my lungs, I can’t breathe
And this ship is going down with me
So you can shut up, shut up, yeah, yeah
And you can take this like a man
Because a captain knows that what a captain does
Is between him and his friends
And his friends
And his friends
And his friends

And we were stealing ’cause we’re bored
Not because we needed food
And I was running with the wolves
Because I think that they like you
But I will screw up, screw up

And we can only drown ourselves so quickly
I was running on the shore, so maybe
There was water in my lungs, I can’t breathe
And this ship is going down with me
So you can shut up, shut up, yeah, yeah
And you can take this like a man
Because a captain knows that what a captain does
Is between him and his friends
And his friends

«Uh, my friend Ryan, his life fucking sucks, so I just wrote it about how he fucked up a lot in college and afterwards, all the shit that he’s gone through and where he’s at now. It’s pretty good, I wrote everything in like a week, so I’m pretty happy with it, other than it sucks.»
«Yeah, I guess we’ll just see what happens.»
