Lyrics

American Football

Honestly?

From American Football1999

Written by Owen (USA)

Lyrics

Honestly?

Honestly I can't remember (teen dreams) All my teenage feelings And their meanings They seem too see-through To be true All the who's are there But the why's (but the why's) (the why's) are unclear (are unclear) Picture this A long-awaited sickening kiss So how does it feel (explain) to know (how) You've rewritten history? (these things change) Despite the complicated beginning to all of this Honestly?
