"With The Band" lyrics

"With The Band"

You ain't 18 anymore
Quit reminiscing 'cause it's a bore
Waking up in T-shirts from the band
Oh, I let him put his cigarette out on my hand
Screaming we're with the band, oh no
Schoolgirl shoes on velcro floors
He could mumble all his words, he'd still be man enough
He watched me from the stage, yeah, it felt like a crime
Oh, pretending like he doesn't do this every night
Screaming we're with the band, oh no

Oh, we could pretend, yeah, I don't mind
Got his hands 'round your neck, you'll still romanticise
All the things that he did to you

But it doesn't matter when
You're with the band
Oh, you're with the band
Oh, you're with the band
When you're with the band
Oh, you're with the band
Oh, you're with the band

You're not 18 anymore
Quit reminiscing 'cause it's such a bore
You'll never find what you're looking for
If you close your eyes to any other thoughts
Taking off your T-shirt in his van
So you let him out his cigarette out on your hand
Screaming I'm with the band

Oh, I'm with the band
Oh, I'm with the band
Oh, I'm with the band
Oh, I'm with the band
Oh, I'm with the band
Oh, I'm with the band

Oh, you could pretend, yeah, he won't mind
Keep telling yourself you're just his type
Oh, go reminisce your younger years
Diluting your mind to please his ears

But I'm with the band now
I'm with the band now
I'm with the band
Oh, I'm such a man now
I'm with the band now
I'm with the band
Oh, I'm with the band

Are you with the band?
'Cause I'm with the band
Yeah, I'm with the band
Oh, I'm with the band
Oh, I'm not a fan now
I'm with the band now
I'm with the band
Oh, I'm with the band, yeah
