Blame It On My Youth - Lisa Ekdahl

I wasn't born with the rich blood I started out with plenty of nothing at all I got stuck in the thick mud The flash flood, punk rock, and the alcohol I was raised on a re-run I was bored to death so I started a band Cut my teeth on a safety dance My attention span never stood a chance It's too late, can you forgive me now? You could never kill my high I'm the ink and you're the headline Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never block my shine I've been lost since 1999 Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth I wasn't made for the good life I ended up getting stuck on the side of the road I tripped and fell on hard times The tough breaks are the only kind I know I was left on a door step I was scared to death with nowhere to go Cut myself on the neighbor's fence That I hopped as the cops tried to take me in It's too late, can you forgive me now? You could never kill my high I'm the ink and you're the headline Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never block my shine I've been lost since 1999 Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth I was raised on the Ritalin Ever since I was a little kid No one else seemed to give a shit I don't need an excuse I don't need an excuse You could never kill my heart I'm the ink and you're the headline Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never block my shine I've been lost since 1999 Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth You could never kill my heart (Endless summer) I'm the ink and you're the headline (Stretching on and on) Blame it, blame it on my youth Blame it, blame it on my youth Endless summer, stretching on and on

I can get a little dark But it's coming from my heart Wide open I know I'm on the rocks But don't put me in a box Thats broken I don't care when I drink too much I don't need you to hold me up I'm outta cigarettes I got an itch in my chest Oh oh The guilt was killing me But finally I'm done kicking out the voices in my head Sick of fighting all these uninvited guests Ever since they all came over We've all kinda gotten close I'm gonna dance with my demons If you can't beat em join em I know them They know me Together we're The life of my party Cut the ties with my shame Give fear a stupid name Knock it down to its knees Gut it up let bleed Oh oh Something I gotta do for myself Can't live life for no one else I smoke a cigarette And think about my ex I know that shit is killing me But finally I'm done kicking out the voices in my head Sick of fighting all these uninvited guests Oh ever since they all came over We've all kinda gotten close I'm gonna dance with my demons If you can't beat em join em I know them They know me Together we're The life of my party I'm tired of hearing my guts So loud it's keeping me up I'm done pushin it down I'll do what I gotta do now Rip out all of this regret Let's see how deep I can get I been caring too much Feels so good not giving a fuck I'm done kicking out the voices in my head Sick of fighting all these uninvited guests Oh ever since they all came over We've all kinda gotten close I'm gonna dance with my demons If you can't beat em join em I know them They know me Together we're The life of my party Dance with my demons If you can't beat em join em I know them They know me Together we're The life of my party

Daybreak And the moon's still floating high What a wonderful surprise I close my eyes And dream of you I'm dreaming at daybreak And the world's so far behind That's why i always find at daybreak I'm still dreaming of you You're from above My one and only love There's no other At daybreak All i want is you forever That's why it's true whenever daybreaks I'm still dreaming of you

Sunny weather Tastes much less sweeter Since you went away Sunny weather ain't no sunny anymore Sunny weather Seemed so much brighter Now colors just fade Sunny weather ain't no sunny anymore All day Rain falls And i'll fall like a feather 'Till i can kiss you once again This sunny weather Feels colder than winter My heart's turned to snow Since you had to go Sunny weather ain't no sunny anymore

Everything I did Everything I didn't do Everything I say And everything I never told you Every time I told you No No Every time I said Yes Yes Every time I held my head up high And every single time I was a mess Made me who I am and brought me to this place, Everything Everything Everything Everything Everything I wanted And Everything I was resisted Everything I never asked before And every time that I insisted Every time we kissed And every time we weren't kissing Every time I caught you on the phone Just to say it's you I'm missing Made me who I am and brought me to this place, Everything Everything Everything Everything Everything Everything Everything Everything Everything Everything Everything Everything
