it's about a guy who grew up thinking that he was never gonna stay in his fuck-hole of a town, but is still sitting there, realising that all the people he knew as a child are still there too

you gotta love LTJ cos it feels like every song was written for your life, everyone can relate to the feelings and the situations they sing about. everyone must have felt a million times that where they live is just shit, and you have to get away, and then a year later you're still in exactly the same place. but i guess the fact we all feel like that goes to show that life sucks all over

This is soooooooo crazy.....everything thinks they live in a boring town. News flash guys, everyone says they hate where they live because there is nothign to do there. No matter where you go, you'll end up doing the same things you used to, except you'll have different people to do it with. Stop saying how boring your town is. Everyone knows because they are in the same boring town.

I was about to say the same thing MKPunk. Couldn't the guy have at least put a little effort in posting the lyrics that are actually sung.

the lyrics are wrong, as in not the ones from the cd, but they are the same as the lyrics on the official LTJ site.
