[Verse 1]
She rolls up late
Grip tape chewed and torn
Hand-me-down helmet
Stickered like a storm
Laughs too loud
At every half-true thing
Ash on her shoelace
Phone starting to ring
[Chorus]
Skate girl
Smokes the green behind the station
Heart like gasoline
Chasing any invitation
Falls for every dare
Every story
Every scene
Skate girl
Wild and gullible and mean
To herself
To her sleep
To her lungs and her jeans
[Verse 2]
Says
“Tonight
We’re hitching out of town”
Trusts a stranger’s playlist
And his crooked crown
She believes in fate
And every horoscope
Scraped-up knees
And over-worn hope
[Chorus]
Skate girl
Smokes the green behind the station
Heart like gasoline
Chasing any invitation
Falls for every dare
Every story
Every scene
Skate girl
Wild and gullible and mean
To herself
To her sleep
To her lungs and her jeans
[Bridge]
I say
“They’re using you”
She shrugs
“I’m using them”
Kicks off from the curb
Carves past 3 a.m
She trusts the hill
I trust the crash
She lights another joke
And watches it flash (hey!)
[Chorus]
Skate girl
Smokes the green behind the station
Heart like gasoline
Chasing any invitation
Falls for every dare
Every story
Every scene
Skate girl
Wild and gullible and mean
To herself
To her sleep
To her lungs and her dreams
