Reasons Not To Hate Everything

from Two Years by The Braces

	/

lyrics

At ten years old I was sitting in the outfield
Swatting flies and missing all of my favorite cartoons
A few months later my parents bought a skateboard
They said "don't kill yourself, don't kill yourself"
I broke some bones and my back's got some kinks
But I found a reason not to hate everything
They put me on the bench in every single sport
I was a skinny kid who asked too many questions

And I spent time at the principal's office like it was regular class
They thought I would get the urge to not talk back, but that never happened
I spent time at the principal's office like it was regular class
They thought I would get the urge to not talk back, but that never happened
'Cause I'm still stubborn, yeah I discovered that

I still like to play with fire
Even though I burned everything down
I had it all and now I have everything else (I had it all yeah)
I had it all and now I have everything else
and I never felt better

I still like to play with fire
Even though I burned everything
I had it all and now I have everything else (I had it all yeah)
I had it all and now I have everything else

The words in my head come out easier when I sing them to myself.
