This track is one of the main reasons I bought 'Dude Ranch'. It totally kicks ass! The guitar work in this track couldn't be much better. The drums play a bigger role in this track than they did in Pathetic. They play consistantly thoughout the whole track with really great sound in fills when the chourus comes around. Mark sings the whole of this track.
The video for this track is really funny! It's all about Mark seeing his ex-girlfriend at the cinema when he's out with Tom and Scott. Mark keeps trying to get closer to her and her new boyfriend is getting really pissed off. Tom, Mark and Scott sit behind them in the cinema and Mark puts his feet up right next to his ex's head, her boyfriend then puts Mark's fett down and sends him toppling to the floor making a fool of himself. Then Mark gets chased around by the boyfriend and Mark gets beaten up at the end. To finish the video, Mark's ex goes off with a really cheesy cinema assistant.
Lyrics:
It's alright / to tell me / what you think / about me I won't try / to argue / or hold it / against you I know that / you're leaving / you must have / your reasons The season / is calling / and your pictures / are falling down
The steps that / I retrace / the sad look / on your face The timing / and structure / did you hear / he fucked her? A day late / a buck short / I'm writing / the report On losing / and failing / when I move / I'm flailing now
And it's happened once again I'll turn to a friend Someone that understands Sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone And I've been here for too long To face this on my own Well I guess this is growing up
Well I guess this is growing up
And maybe / I'll see you / at a movie / sneak preview You'll show up / and walk by / on the arm / of that guy And I'll smile / and you'll wave / we'll pretend / it's okay The charade / it won't last / when he's gone / I won't come back
And it'll happen once again You'll turn to a friend Someone that understands And sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone And you've been there for too long To face this on your own Well I guess this is growing up
Well, I guess this is growing up [4x] Well, I guess this is growing up
(The /'s mean a pause)
