First We Get The Khakis Then

The feeling so confident on the outside,
so uneasy on the inside
but I chose to do it all
Striped pants and broken dreams, where do we go from here?
Cause I rehearsed the worst and tonight I'll play it by for you

And what does this all need to be?
Everyone is watching
What does this all mean to me?
More than you could know
And we couldn't be that, and we couldn't give in, we were never here for that
And you wouldn't believe and you never could see
We were meant for this

Cause it looks so damn good on the outside,
but so uneasy on the inside,
and it doesn't take a thing, right?
These things mean everything, from us to cash and that's a fact
The only thing that matters for me to do
I'll play it by for you

And what does this all need to be?
Everyone is watching
What does this all mean to me?
More than you could know
And we couldn't be that, and we couldn't give in, we were never here for that
And you wouldn't believe and you never could see
We were meant for this

So here's my chance to tell you
everything that's been on my mind
and I don't know how you'll take it [2x]

And what does this all need to be?
Everyone is watching
What does this all mean to me?
More than you could know
And we couldn't be that, and we couldn't give in, we were never here for that
And you wouldn't believe and you never could see
We were meant for this
