[Intro]

[Verse]
Understand the purpose of making
Everything around you better
But all those zeroes after this one
There is no one to destroy your sweater

[Chorus]
I'll try to hum it to you if I can't sing
My baby wants me back before I even leave
Smothered and covered by my high school dreams
Call mom and daddy cause the nest is empty
And so are you

[Refrain]
Did you meet with your advisor?
Do you still draw in the margins?
Bubble letters reading "WHAT FOR?"
And "I wish I had a stand-in..."

[Chorus 2]
Let's try to make another year for the teens
I miss your bangs, can cut them for me
Smothered and covered by my high school dreams
Call mom and daddy cause the nest is empty
And so are you

[Refrain]
Did you meet with your advisor?
Do you still draw in the margins?
Bubble letters reading "WHAT FOR?"
And "I wish I had a stand-in..."

[Chorus 2]
Let's try to make another year for the teens
I miss your bangs, can cut them for me
Smothered and covered by my high school dreams
Call mom and daddy cause the nest is empty
And so are you
