  • Goodbye Jimmy, farewell youth
    I must be on my way I have had enough of you
    I was a young man proud and true
    Just a simple boy with nothing else to lose
    Years that I've wasted these I owe you's
    They're just fucking words
    This is life or death
    It's time to clear the air you better save your breath
    Say have you heard
    Say have you heard
    The poison in my heart voices in my head
    Years that I've waited these I owe you's
    I meant every word for word for word forward
    Word for word for word forward
    Word for word for word forward
    Word for word for word forward
    But it's only words
    I meant every word
    They're just fucking words
    Word for word for word forward
    Word for word for word forward
    Word for word for word forward
    Word for word for word forward
    Word for word for word forward

    Word for word for word forward
    Word for word for word forward
    Word for word for word forward Writer/s: CHRIS SHIFLETT, DAVID ERIC GROHL, NATE MENDEL, TAYLOR HAWKINS

  • Mathijs from Houten, NetherlandsBeautiful song, one of their best actually, in my opinion. Well deserved spot on their greatest hits, even though it isn't a hit.
