lyrics
this is a song about a girl named Claire
who was in with the out-crowd but didn't care
her father loved her the most
and her mother was a living ghost
just a child of fifteen
in a pair of skinny jeans
townhouse life was sometimes rough
and often she didn't have enough
nails chewed to the quick
ashes on her lip
living beyond her means
in a pair of skinny jeans
there was this boy she kissed
only once but it was bliss
if her father found out he would say:
pack your bags and go away
(where else would she stay?)
if you go to Bayshore mall
you'll see groups of girls, like Claire
who dream that they will find true love
among the boys that they see there
the hidden lives of teens
in pairs of skinny jeans
who was in with the out-crowd but didn't care
her father loved her the most
and her mother was a living ghost
just a child of fifteen
in a pair of skinny jeans
townhouse life was sometimes rough
and often she didn't have enough
nails chewed to the quick
ashes on her lip
living beyond her means
in a pair of skinny jeans
there was this boy she kissed
only once but it was bliss
if her father found out he would say:
pack your bags and go away
(where else would she stay?)
if you go to Bayshore mall
you'll see groups of girls, like Claire
who dream that they will find true love
among the boys that they see there
the hidden lives of teens
in pairs of skinny jeans
