Outside of Cleveland

Meet in your bedroom, bring hard drives for music
I got new Eels, you got Clem Snide, let's do it
Dreaming of New York
Did you hear greenwich village had a pillow fight in the park
And we're stuck in Cleveland
Outside of Cleveland

Drive to the outlets and park in the alley
See kids from our class and they're having a party
We call them sheep but we just want to be 'em
Cause why are we here
And why aren't we leaving
We both know why

I feel it all now
I feel it all now
I feel it all now

The boy that I loved sure enough was an asshole
Just a classic movie premise shake your head cause you said so
I just wanted one goddamn thing to believe in
All these overcast days cloud my brain
Up in Cleveland
Outside of Cleveland

Driving on Route 8 past the old movie theater
Thinking of you and those collectible figures
Bobble their heads while we listen to music
Man you were so cool
I wonder how you're doing
What are you doing?

I feel it all now
I feel it all now
I feel it all now

And if there are others who hate high school the way
We did I hope they find each other the same
The rest they don't get us and that may never change
But I knew you would be there when Friday night came

I shouldn't have kissed you that day in your basement
But if we were lovers it'd be so convenient
Touching each other while we listen to music
But as I kissed you, I knew I couldn't do it

I feel it all now
I feel it all now
I feel it all now

And if there are others who hate high school the way
We did I hope they find each other the same
The rest they don't get us and that may never change
But I knew you would be there when Friday night came

Memories they come and they're trying to kill me
Assault on my senese, I'm alone but I'm blushing
Passing the old streets, half full, half empty
I wish you were here
We'd go park in some alley
Outside of Cleveland
