defron - montblanc lyrics

[chorus: niamh]
remember when we stole pens
before we grew apart and became old friends
we were best friends, we were pen thieves
and that part of you has never left me
remember when we stole pens
before we grew apart and became old friends
we were best friends, we were pen thieves
and that part of you has never left me

[verse 1: defron]
remember when we stole pens
before we grew apart and became old friends
stashed in our desks in a brown paper bag
grade two kids, straight stupid, playing bad
parkers, papermates, ballpoints, gels, bics
crayolas, unib-lls, felt tips, faber castels
artlines, it was open palm crime
young minds un-afraid of hard times
click and twist tops fell victim to our rampage
but we never let our loot touch a blank page
punk! you vanishing pens unused
trapped under textbooks swallowing [?]
then i used one, attracted attention
you got nervous, blurred the word suspension
retired from the life, threw away your treasured trove
no more partners in crime just me and my pens alone

[verse 2: defron]
i moved schools, you went to college
could’ve kept in touch but we never bothered
when i got to high school, i never knew you
you never knew me, the wound was too deep
made new friends, dissed each-other in the school yard
young, dumb, bruised hearts, acting a fool, hard
both watched as somebody we grew with close
transform into somebody we used to know
and it was the same secret that we’d shared before
tipping out our brown bags to compare our score
both hiding, not realising what we’d missed
until a couple years later when i saw a flick
i knew you worked there but i didn’t even plan
to b-mp shoulders and casually shake hands
i just asked “is this movie any good?”
and that brief talk restored our childhood

[verse 3: defron]
after that i didn’t hear your name used
not until a couple years ago when i heard the news
you died over-night, morning paper headlines
car collides with a motorbike
drowning at the funeral, swimming in sad faces
mind raced back to stuffing our pencil cases
i had what your friends were looking for
my hand stained with what i took of yours
one true friend like an unused pen
you never left, you rest there
like our two names written beneath those desk chairs
so if you see me with a pen, i ain’t leaving ’em again
i’m just borrowing, i need it for a friend

[pre-chorus: defron]
so it feels like he’s here so it feels like i’m whole again
so i wrote this song with a stolen pen
so it feels like he’s here so it feels like i’m whole again
so i wrote this song with a stolen pen

[bridge: niamh]
so i wrote this song with a stolen pen
so i wrote this song with a stolen pen
so i wrote this song, yeah i wrote this song
i wrote this song with a stolen pen
so i wrote this song with a stolen pen
so i wrote this song with a stolen pen
so i wrote this song, yeah i wrote this song
i wrote this song with a stolen pen

[outro]
so we used to case out the cl-ss room
staring over all the kids in the cl-ss
eyeing out which pens we would steal
and there was this girl, she had this amazing pen
i can’t even remember what brand it was
but it was just this beautiful blue fountain pen
with a white floral tip at the end where you would click it
and i remember i didn’t even tell you that i was eyeing her pen
because i knew you would beat me to the punch
so i just went out and i did my thing
and the next time that we were comparing our stash
i pull out this pen and i show it to you
and i’m like “dude, i finally got this pen”
and you just have this horrified look on your face
and then you start laughing and pointing at me like i’m a clown
and you’re like “dude, don’t you know what she does with that pen?”
and i was like “nah bro”
and you were like “she puts that pen in her mouth bro”
and i was like “errghhh”
i think that was one of the last times that i showed you my score
you were like “argh dude you’re gross!”
