I was only joking lyrics
Ever since i was a kid in school / i messed around with all the rules / apologized, then realized / i'm not different after all / me and the boys thought we had it sussed I remember when this album was released, it came with a booklet that had drawings to coincide with each song The drawing for i was only joking, was of a high school hallway, with a boy looking down as if in shame, and a young girl with an obviously pregnant stomach. The song delves into the experiences of the narrator as they navigate their journey from adolescence to adulthood.
