This Is Us - Jimmie Allen

Remember how we used to party up all night? Sneakin' out and lookin' for a taste of real life Drinkin' in the small town firelight (Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice) Sweet sixteen, and we had arrived Walkin' down the streets as they whistle, "Hi, hi!" Stealin' police cars with the senior guys Teachers said we'd never make it out alive There she was, my new best friend High heels in her hand, swayin' in the wind While she starts to cry Mascara running down her little Bambi eyes "Lana, how I hate those guys" This is what makes us girls We all look for heaven and we put our love first Somethin' that we'd die for, it's our curse Don't cry about it, don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We all stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him, don't cry about him It's all gonna happen And that's where the beginnin' of the end begun Everybody knew that we had too much fun We were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job With the boss Sweet sixteen, and we had arrived Baby's table dancin' at the local dive Cheerin' our names in the pink spotlight Drinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet night Yo, we used to go break into the hotel Glimmerin', we'd swim Runnin' from the cops in our black bikini tops Screamin', "Get us while we're hot, get us while we're hot" (C'mon, take a shot) This is what makes us girls We all look for heaven and we put our love first Somethin' that we'd die for, it's our curse Don't cry about it, don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We all stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him, don't cry about him It's all gonna happen The prettiest in-crowd that you had ever seen Ribbons in our hair, and our eyes gleamed mean A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens And you know somethin'? They were the only friends I ever had We got into trouble and when stuff got bad I got sent away, I was wavin' on the train platform Cryin' 'cause I know I'm never comin' back This is what makes us girls We all look for heaven and we put our love first Somethin' that we'd die for, it's our curse Don't cry about it, don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We all stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him, don't cry about him It's all gonna happen

Bite my hand Nothing of worth is ever coming to you Fall into error and swim the sands Breathe through the dirt, repeat your own point of view We can learn to stand in no man's land We fell in love with a death machine Too much will never be enough Push comes to shove, but it's heresy just to be Living is killing us Living is killing us Take the stand God knows that there is nothing else you can do Weaker together, a firebrand Another rebel that'll split us in two We're burning down a holy land We fell in love with a death machine Too much will never be enough Push comes to shove, but it's heresy just to be Living is killing us We built a home on a battleground Misfortunes never come alone Come quick, we've gotta turn this ship around Fuck it, I'll do it on my own We built a home on a battleground Misfortunes never come alone Come quick, we've gotta turn this ship around Fuck it, fuck it, I'll do it on my own We fell in love with a death machine Too much will never be enough Push comes to shove, but it's heresy just to be Living is killing us We fell in love with a death machine Too much will never be enough Push comes to shove, but it's heresy just to be Living is killing us

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
