he read every issue of "Punk Planet" with a tissue
bad reviews of his favorite band made him cry
could hardly believe that Jawbreaker signed to DGC
he took it personally that Blake had lied
when all the he loved was through what's an emo boy to do
with a broken heart and some minor chords?
inspiration lame on the floor
he was just barely sixteen when he started his fanzine
he could lay his broken heart out on the page
and it got real inspiring when people started writing
he was not alone he was not alone
when all his work was done he put on side one
Boxcar sang him to sleep
locked away in an emo dream
one foggy night at the bottom of the hill
front and center for Jets to Brazil
emo boy met emo girl
barrettes in her hair and Buddy Holly glasses
and laminated passes
they left the club and went back to his house
and fooled around to the new record from Modest Mouse
