Hand-me-downs Lyrics



I know we're in September 

And this is my house 

And this is my town 

But my clothes are in the case 

And I am leaving 

Don't tell me what you spent it on 

You always lie 

You always lie 

And it's a decision 

I am leaving 



We used to say for fun 

Lets say you lived 

And then you did 

You were the leader of us all 

The perfect fall 



You speak to the weak and old picture of me 

Everybody says they wanna be free 

And it's a decision 

So I am leaving 



The powder's in the kitchen 

The spoon is on the floor 

Your sister says it's different now 

I don't believe her anymore 



[Chorus]

And I don't want your hand me downs 

They're old 

They're all worn out 

I don't wanna hang around 

I don't want your hand me downs 



So now I'm in this hotel room 

I'm free and droning on 

But the musi's way too loud 

I wanna skip to the next song 



The glass is on the counter 

The sheets are on the floor 

Your sister says it's not the same 

I don't believe her anymore 

[Chorus]



So you lie yourself to sleep tonight 

But you won't think of me 

Cuz your world revolves around you 

Or so it seems 

Or so it seems 

And you can't get off 

And I can't get on 

Yourself is all you see 

And I don't wanna hang around 

I don't want your hand me downs anymore 



You speak to the weak and old picture of me 

Everybody says they wanna be free 

And it's a decision 

So I am leaving
