Caught you shopping for a new party dress We can take you down now Just invite ourselves What's the occasion? Who are all of your guests? We won't tell a soul now Noone else will know So just how many invitations were sent We're still R.S.V.P. You forgot us obviously I knew exactly what her silence meant We were not important To her soiree assortment How can she brush off the casanovas That we know we've grown to be Standing in the shadows All these people that I don't know Crashing the party Is a way of making new friends As she plays piano Melodies fall out the window Crashing the party Makes me such a big man She never knew we ate all the food And took things from her room She never knew we took mother's jewels And daddy's shoes Called you over for some television There's nothing to do now Nothing going on All these people parked outside of my home They broke down the doors now As if we'd invited them Cases of beers Cause teenage tears While we watched The Wonder Years - chorus out -
