[Intro]
I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll never know, and some secrets weren't meant to be told
But I found the cure to growing older
[Verse 1]
I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
Oh, and I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends now
[Chorus]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, you can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, can't cover it up
Can't cover it up, no
[Verse 2]
Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family 'cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place
[Pre-Chorus]
Brace yourself, they call kids like us vicious
And carved out of stone
But, for what we've become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've got against what I left
So, progress report: I am missing you to death
[Chorus]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, you can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, can't cover it up
Can't cover it up, no
[Bridge: Chad Gilbert, Patrick Stump]
Someone old, no one new, feeling borrowed, always blue
Someone old, no one new, feeling borrowed, always blue
Someone old, no one new, feeling borrowed, always blue
Someone old, no one new, always borrowed, always blue
I've found the cure to growing older
I've found the cure to growing older
[Chorus]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, you can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, can't cover it up
(Can't cover it up!) 18
