McCafferty - Paper, Pencil, Copyright Lyrics






One thing I've learned from being a teacher is
That adults don't understand the pain of their kids
They say, "Focus, mostly on all of these things
You'll understand if you just study"
It's paper and pencil always for me
Never around the creativity

I see from my burnout friends
I read from their drunken texts
I see from the eyes of dirt
Gone forever, gone forever

Everyone stood still, nobody noticed
Look through the cracks, like I couldn't focus
ADHD, like ADH-me
Like everyone here will come on

But I will see myself out, will see myself out, will see myself out
I will see myself out, will see myself out, will see myself out

I will see myself out, will see myself out, will see myself out
I will see myself out, will see myself out, will see myself out

Where you wanna go? Go on, get the car
I've fallen for you, I'll fall apart
Where you wanna go? Go on, get the car
I've fallen for you, I'll fall apart
I'll fall apart, I'll fall apart
I'll fall apart, I will fall apart

  1. S.... ....

    What I gather from this is Nick is mentally insane which I'm not surprised by

  2. M.... M....

    I didn’t know the Front Bottoms put a new album out?? Wonder why the name isn’t in the title. Almost missed it.

  3. B.... M....

    They are still writing music just not touring anymore

  4. C.... J....

    I’m so confused yet can’t stop watching this music video and love it

  19. L.... C....

    Sounds like goofy

  20. C.... L....

    God I miss this band dude, such a shame they had to break up again. The new album was awesome and I would’ve loved to catch a live show at some point but now I can’t. I hope Nick can find peace with his issues because these guys are really something special and they deserve so much more attention than they got,

  21. A.... A....

    H.... N....

    a new album’s coming out soon!! it isn’t exactly mccafferty, it’s just nick, wes and emily (nick’s wife) i think but i mean mccafferty started off as a solo project if i’m correct!

    H.... N....

    they break up and get back together a lot, don't worry

    H.... N....

    arren regrets nothing what name are they going under?

  31. k.... ....

  43. J.... M....

    What the fuck is this guys voice

    J.... M....

    John Muffuletto wanker

  44. N.... ....

    Yo guys dont sit here being upset they're gone for a bit. If you really love the band you'll support Nicks decision to get the help he needs. It takes alot of balls to get help, and I'm sure he much rather the support than the sad and negative comments.

    If you read this for whatever reason, Nick, head above water man! Hope you get the help and relief you need <3

  45. D.... F....

    hope they don’t take too long on this break or whatever it is , just want them to come back. hope you get better nick.

    D.... F....

    also hope trips crown continues to work with them

  46. J.... M....

    Who was in the birb costume

  47. N.... M....

    They're not officially broke up, after Beachboy they were said to be "Broke up". However Nick struggles with mental/emotional issues and has occasionally taken breaks due to it. Hopefully he'll eventually find peace with it all. They'll be back, don't worry.

    N.... M....

    Nachoz Man they are now 😫

    N.... M....

    Oh boy do I have news for you. New album this fall.

    N.... M....

    @Joey Westhoelter Oh really? Fuck yes

    N.... M....

    @Joey Westhoelter Is that true? :o

    N.... M....

    They’ve broken up and got back together so much there years active section on Wikipedia is just sad

  48. J.... J....

    Holy shit y'all got a music video? I'm so proud

  49. S.... ....

    I don’t know what I’d do if they didn’t get back together

  50. L.... K....

    This is such a underrated band like they deserve nothing but happiness

  51. J.... M....

    I will see myself out.....

  52. S.... F....

    Kickflip in the birdsuit was majestic

  53. P.... ....
