Bowling For Soup - Envy Lyrics






I found your Poison T-shirt
look what the cat dragged in
Seems like it was yesterday
I remember when
We said the word forever
But that’s all over now

We used to be the envy
We used to be the talk of
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
We used to be the ones who everyone thought would make it
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
Whenever I’m sober I say to myself
It sucks that it’s over but at least we gave it hell

Our friends always gave us shit
For being so in love
King and queen of the PDA
We kissed until the sun came up
And you were gone
We never said goodbye

We used to be the envy
We used to be the talk of
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
We used to be the ones who everyone thought would make it
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
Whenever I’m sober I say to myself
It sucks that it’s over but at least we gave it hell

Time keeps moving on
Our chances are all gone
To follow through with all we said we’d do
So I sing the eulogy
To the ghost of you and me
And drink another beer

The sun went down and you were gone
We never said goodbye

We used to be the envy
We used to be the talk of
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
We used to be the ones who everyone thought would make it
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town

When I’m not sober I say to myself
Maybe I should call her, and wish her the best
But I remember it’s over
And this feels like fucking hell

    It's the same song, I'm guessing during practice and editing. You can tell by the "drink another beer."

    P.... M....

    @Yar okay thanks dude

  16. a.... S....

    Yes he is from Chuck E Cheese and Phineas and Ferb Jaret Von Erich aka Jaret Reddick he plays Danny from band Love Handle

    a.... S....

    apple Smith * Handel, and Danny was my favorite singer from "Love Handel" and Jaret Reddick is my favorite Bowling for Soup singer!

    a.... S....

    You know “von Erich” is a stage name and Reddick is his birth name, right?
    So it should be Jaret Reddick AKA Jaret von Erich.

  17. B.... S....

    B.... S....

  24. J.... T....

    You still are all of this!!!!!!!!!!! -Kyle

  25. L.... P....

    See you in 22 days!

  26. a.... ....

    remembering totally new lyrics word for word without mistakes would slow down the recording process waaay to much. some bands cant even remember them 100% by the time they start performing, especially after having written so many songs in a short period of time that often overlap lyricswise and to make things worse, often had multiple last minute changes

  27. S.... M....

    how fucking good does he sound though?

  28. D.... ....

    I'm not a native english speaker, can you please hint me to my grammar-mistake?

  29. B.... ....

    You do know singers read lyrics off a sheet when recording anyway?

  30. B.... K....

    would you prefer a nokia lumia... i personally think it's a good choice, and i also personally think you're fucking weak. Just like your grammar

  31. D.... ....

    Reading the lyrics to your own song off a iPhone is fucking weak.

  32. a.... g....

    omg i love them!

  33. X.... T....

    and it feels like fucking hell !

  34. J.... S....

    Can't wait to see you in Manchester next month.. Hope you play some if the old songs as well

  35. S.... ....

    God, this rocks !

  36. A.... M....

    BFS foda como sempre

  37. A.... F....

    thank you fucking bfs to keep music fucking alive ! love from fucking israel !

  38. G.... d....

    And now the song is over. And it feels like fucking hell.

  39. B.... W....

    I wish the album was out today in the UK, then I could get it for my birthday tomorrow, oh well it will be worth the wait

  40. M.... ....

    YES! I'm hoping that they do, i would be so happy.

  41. F.... ....
