lyrics

when I was a school boy
I was a youth group kid
who lived on watered down versions
of last year's trends
and the best day of my whole life to that point
I got to see my favorite ska band
my favorite ska band

skanking in the front row
was a girl with short pink hair
I did my best to keep dancing and
try not to stare
she had a rainbow pride pin and a golden cross
she looked just like an angel
like an angel

I didn't know what to call the way that I felt

I was falling in love at a Christian ska show
I could feel the devil getting into my heart
like "see that girl don't you wanna be her?
don't it just make you wanna fall apart?"
don't it just make you wanna fall apart?
don't it just make you wanna fall apart?

now I'm a punk rock girl
I've got my own band
and I'm kind of a heathen
but my birthday plan
is to go see this band that I liked as a kid
'cause they got back together
back together

and before the show starts
guess who I should see
a trans boy with pink hair smiling at me
he says "I think I saw you last time I was here
I wanted to look like you
look like you"

I guess in retrospect it was the moment I knew

I was falling in love at a Christian Ska show
I could feel the devil getting into my heart
like "see that boy don't you wanna be him?
don't it just make you wanna fall apart?*
don't it just make you wanna fall apart?
don't it just make you wanna fall apart?

now we're falling in love at a Christian Ska Show
we got each other's numbers and a promising start
we kissed in the back like "text me tomorrow"
don't it just make you wanna fall apart?
don't it just make you wanna fall apart?
don't it just make you wanna fall apart?
