Caught you shopping for a new party dress

We can take you down now

Just invite ourselves

What's the occasion?

Who are all of your guests?

We won't tell a soul now

Noone else will know

So just how many invitations were sent

We're still R.S.V.P.

You forgot us obviously

I knew exactly what her silence meant

We were not important

To her soiree assortment

How can she brush off the casanovas

That we know we've grown to be



Standing in the shadows

All these people that I don't know

Crashing the party

Is a way of making new friends

As she plays piano

Melodies fall out the window

Crashing the party

Makes me such a big man

She never knew we ate all the food

And took things from her room

She never knew we took mother's jewels

And daddy's shoes



Called you over for some television

There's nothing to do now

Nothing going on

All these people parked outside of my home

They broke down the doors now

As if we'd invited them

Cases of beers

Cause teenage tears

While we watched The Wonder Years
