Teenage Parents Lyrics:

You climb six lonely sets of stairs to your apartment after another graveyard shift in the

cold dull light of morning. You walked in just in time to catch her as she's leaving but the

schedules and the conflicts kept the roof over our heads. You said you were strong and

naive and if you were scared, well, I would understand. I don't think I would have had

the guts to handle it. All we had were hand-me-downs. All we had was good will and you

always said it would get better. "When you're young and you're poor, they hang on your

failures." You always said it would get better. I'm sick of seeing ghosts. I won't be here

forever. We bought our first house at the advent of the 90s-- a Cape Cod on a busy street

that we swore we'd fix eventually. Winter of '93, we got by with kerosene-- a heater in

the living room we huddled around shivering and me trying to get to sleep. My clothes

will smell of smoke for weeks. Just trying to get to sleep. My mother wore a sundress on

the day that she got married. They held the wedding in a backyard near the city. I was

just one then. I would never remember it but I heard the voices and implications telling

me who I could never be.

One of their best songs.  No-fucking-body sings about what it's like to be a teen trying to struggle to raise a family.  From Upsides to GG, no matter what TWY chooses to do with their music, this period of their career will always have my deepest respect for their intense honesty.
