Kelly wakes up at her place / Her pillow stuck to her face / With some guy from the night before / His underwear on the floor / She can’t remember his name / But that’s okay / She wants to write a book / Kelly wants to cook / Classes at the YMCA / Maybe she’ll act in a play / Photos at the grocery store / No drinking, no drugs, anymore / Kelly wants to change / Kelly rearrange / Everything is the same / Who’s to blame? / Kelly grew up in the burbs / Here Mom and Dad are jerks / She drove her car to LA / Gets drunk and pukes by the bay / Quitting things is hard to do / Lying through and through / Got kicked out of her band / Tatooed her hand / Her poems are the worst / She always ends up hurt / Yagerbombs at the bar / She’s a falling star / Kelly wants to change / Kelly rearrange / Everything stays the same / Who’s to blame?

Sitting in the basement of a friend / I feel the cold wind / And we're all looking for a way out of town / While we're in the deep end / Of the pool / Dry your hair / After the swim / Standing out in your backyard / Bruised and scarred / Your Mom staring through the window of her room / Angry that she's bored / She's bored / Dry your eyes / After the swim / In the pool / In the pool / In the pool / In the pool
