Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don’t feed me violence, just run with me
Through rows of speeding cars
The paper cuts, the cheating lovers
The coffee’s never strong enough
I know you think it’s more than just bad luck
There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
Sleeping pills, no sleeping dogs lie never
Far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I’ve watched you slowly winding down for years
You can’t keep on like this
Now is as bad of time as any
There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
It’s okay by me
It’s okay by me
It’s okay by me
It was a long time ago
It’s okay by me
It’s okay by me
It’s okay by me
It was a long time ago
There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

Personally, I don't relate to this song in a bf/gf sort of way. I think this song is more of a conversation with a best friend who is in need and the singer is reassuring them that it's okay, life has it's ups and downs and that they love them anyway. Whatever the friend feels bad about, it's 'okay by me'. So just a nice little shout out to the dearly beloved;
There, there, baby

I love you all like no tomorrow. Thank you for the birthday wishes, they mean more to me than any material present in the world. Thank you for good times and bad times we've shared; the good have definitely out weighed the bad. I have grown so much with your love and support. I thank God for putting me on this earth so I could experience the richness of friendship. Either I'm having a bad case of lethologica or there really aren't any better words to express my gratitude other than Thank You.
What else have I learnt today? That no matter what age you turn, you'll never feel any different!! I'm 16 and I still feel like I'm 8. Ha. Oh and hugs are totally underrated. Give someone a hug now!
You know I love you,
xoxo.
