Reminiscen About Pain
[Verse 1]
I thought you were a James Dean rebel without a cause
One hand in the pocket of your blue jeans
Leanin' up against the wall
Like cigarette smoke and old school matches
I would've looked good in your leather jacket
I thought you were a James Dean rebel without a cause
If this were a movie I would be your love interest
You'd steal a car, steal my heart right into the wild sunset
Dancin' on the edge of no tomorrow
We would've raised hell in that El Dorado
If this were a movie I would be your love interest

[Chorus]
Instead you picked Plain Jane
Little miss what's her name?
When you could've had fire
You could've have crazy
Talkin' breakout, make-out, kissin' in the backseat
Dang
I was hopin' I could drive you insane
Bet your heart'll be kicking your brain
Oh, what a shame
You picked Plain Jane
Plain, Plain, Plain, Jane, Jane, Jane

[Verse 2]
I thought she was the harmless goody goody girl next door
That dime a dozen kind of pretty that you've seen before
The opposite of what you said you wanted
A Barbie doll made in mass production
I thought she was the harmless goody goody girl next door

[Chorus]
So why'd you picked Plain Jane
Little miss what's her name?
When you could've had fire
You could've have crazy
Talkin' breakup, makeup, kissin' in the backseat
Dang
I was hopin' I could drive you insane
Bet your heart'll be kicking your brain
Oh, what a shame
You picked Plain Jane
Plain, Plain, Plain, Jane, Jane, Jane

[Verse 3]
Your cool turns to khakis
Your Chucks turn to loafers
That jacket's a cardigan around your shoulders
The rebel inside you has withered and died
And I cringe at the sight on the new you

[Chorus]
I'm glad you picked Plain Jane
Little miss what's her name?
When you could've had fire
You could've have crazy
Talkin' breakup, makeup, kissin' in the backseat
Dang
I was hopin' I could drive you insane
Bet your heart'll be kicking your brain
Oh, what a shame
You picked Plain Jane
Plain, Plain, Plain, Jane, Jane, Jane
