*sobs quietly*
Mom Jeans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we both know that planning's not my strong suit
I'm sad that I lost you but I won't chase you I still don't
Blame you for making me stall when I learned how to drive you car
Because your best friends were all too sad to take you to the airport
And I miss you every minute of every day tell me
Why can't you still make a decision 'cause I'm getting better at
And your hair in my bed
Please tell me why I'm so afraid of dying alone so scared and so stoned
But I don't know what I need so just tell me what you need
You're all I need just please don't make me
go
