LYRICS
So sweet I can hardly speak
Due to such trauma in my teeth
But your body language is telling me that you're worth the pain
So weak I can hardly keep
Shakey legs, holdin' up my feet
But your body language is telling me that I'm not to blame
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done a few things I regret
But practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
To me.
Wake up at first light, hearing you calling out
For your criminal clothing
that fled the scene
upon being ripped free
Conversation ensued
And I want to do so many things to you
Sip after sip
You insist you're a hit
Sip after sip
Yeah, I swear I can feel it
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done a few things I regret
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done what a mother wouldn't want
What a mother wouldn't want in a son
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done a few things I regret
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done what a mother wouldn't want
What a mother wouldn't want in a son
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
To me.

[@KAI-bm6lq]

Me ... I Miss Those Emo Bands :'(

[@coconutshrimp7919]

[@desireecottrell3653]

​@Elliot Witt aka Mirage Sameee....if only we could go back, even if its just for a day

[@zoeoakley2784]

2021!

[@CraftyLashyCreates]

I still love them 12 years later, and Im still waiting for that come back, Shaant's lyrics speak to us! let's go Ramen

[@I_am_Jordan_K]

They've been back together for a year and a half. They're playing Warped Tour this summer

[@mirandaweasley394]

Yeah, they've been together for a while. And I don't think that they're signed with Ramen anymore.

[@EisForEmily25]

I saw them and met them at Warped Tour and they said they're releasing a new album this fall! I'm so frhhfing excited.

[@christahernandez871]

they're working on new stuff now :D atleast thats what they said at warped tour

[@ashtonhynes53]

Emily Sobelman Woah! Okay, three things- CIWWAF are coming back?!?!? Also, this song isn't older than 2009?? & have this band really existed since 2002?!?

[@WhoaMonstuh]

Ahh this used to be my Myspace song. Lol

[@sandykandy9227]

Lol mine too

[@basteque_]

+Brooke Anderson Mine too !

[@409Draye]

Brooke Anderson what's ur instagram lol

[@jeanbates9595]

I wish myspace still existed...

[@TheAleMitch]

Mine 2 🤣 so long ago I can’t believe it

[@ravenjanise]

God this makes me feel old, I remember finding this band on KZbin in middle school and now I'm a junior in college.

[@xBetterxDays]

Hope you made it through college and are living your dream job.

[@ravenjanise]

Rise Against739 I did! And I’m a graphic designer for Hanes at the moment 😊

[@Thekingkhari]

Raven Stone love that

[@Thekingkhari]

Rise Against739 I hope you’re living your dreams too or at least on the way

[@DeathToRain]

Music like this just isn't around anymore.. They made their own genre

[@connmoss9727]

generic pop punk? pretty sure there were loads of these bands back then 😂 boys like girls springs to mind

[@MrJ0mmy]

i miss emo punk rock music

[@Sk8rocka]

@@connmoss9727 i mean, it's kind of generic, but at least the lyrics are clever and quirky. the vocals are far from perfect and there's something cool about the arrangements. so much less inspired crap out now (but man is there some good stuff too).

[@Kitteholic]

MrJ0mmy I feel you.

[@TikalKeria]

@@connmoss9727 cute was one of the first "neon pop punk" subgenre bands signed onto fueled by ramen :) so they actually did inspire somewhat of a trend right after.

[@iCeleste7]

The rain in the beginning reminds me how I'd jam out to this song in 11th grade while getting ready for school in the winter. I don't think any other song out there reaches quite the level of nostalgia for me.

[@winwthLightsworns]

This brings a lot of memories back :(

[@alanmondragon1857]

indeed it does…. but practice makes perfect..

[@nwonkun6602]

***** nigggggaaa

[@noahriot2129]

B L S puts you in a good mood

[@normamukkuatrosyete8226]

Yep. 9 years later and still listening to shaant. From being one of the most pain-in-the-ass mid schooler to becoming a doctor. Dude, memories.

[@angiealbrightmusic]

I believe he has one of the most amazing voice ever, despite his looks and what other people think

[@Thekingkhari]

It’s 2020 and I needed to hear this

[@ovojayledge]

Bro foreal.

[@moma5501]

Takes me back to 15-18 damnit

[@kfaith97]

They were so good at Warped. Shaant is one of the friendliest singers I've met.

[@tanperez1492]

Sweetest guy ever!!! I met him yesterday. He was waaay too nice. I was so happy. And then I got to talk to the bassist and the drummer in their merch tent. Fucking hilarious.

[@emberearls1751]

I met them all at Warped, and they were all awesome, and super sweet

[@lpspawsomesaucefilms6662]

Just another person that got to go to Warped :( I missed it I got so pissed I wish I could've gone most of my fav bands and singers were there

[@mem3198]

Wow, I can't even get into Warped and everyone gets to meet Cute, (Throws laptop at wall)

[@fqngod]

2021, and i'm still listening to this song.

[@KAI-bm6lq]

Me too !

[@jevinday]

This album came out when John Feldman (the singer from Goldfinger) was producing an album from Cute is what we Aim For and The Used at the same time. If you listen close enough, you can hear Bert McCracken laughing, screaming, and providing some other little background vocals on this song. the only reason that i ever realized it is because i knew that feldman had produced both of their albums was because i was so obsessed with the used that i knew he had produced this album, in love and death, and lies for the liars.

[@rileyortman1872]

john feldman is a fucking god man... this sound is unbelievably good. so much talented.

[@etherealdepths]

hadn't heard this song since I was 14. It started playing on my spotify & I was surprised I remembered every word

[@shieele]

I honestly love his voice.Such a great band. I love their music.

[@beagruy2386]

This used to play on MTV. Oh my god, 2008. How good you were to my adolescent self. It’s crazy how music can take you back to a time and place.

[@josedavidgomezperez2094]

🎉 We are at the end of the year 2023 I still listen to it and I will continue listening to it 👍🏻

[@LukazSigz]

this is what I call MUSIC..

[@TheBlackjack182]

+Lukaz Sigz Ikr, I miss this kinda music..

[@iworkoutlmfao]

November 2021 and it’s the first time I’ve heard this song. So dope

[@Joeny_Depps]

I actually really like the way he writes lyrics. It is really interesting. Probably the ONLY FBR artist's music I can still appreciate.

[@sphinxcanuel]

1:34 am. Hits differently. This brings back so many memories specially with my highschool buddies back then.

[@sweatymcswampass]

[@jordlbray]

Forgot how much I love these guys. So many memories.

[@astroamber1205]

I haven’t heard this since like 2011... I was obsessed at once. I remember listening to it with my best friend. She passed away a few years ago from a sudden tragic car accident. I stumbled across this song and it literally made me cry and gave me goosebumps and brought up memories. Wow... thank you CIWWAF 💚

[@hexghoul]

This song never get old :)

[@TIAMOTRPD]

Man i still remember when i got the chance to meet/smoke with the lead singer. They were opening for Simple Plan in saint john, and me and a friend shared a Jay with one of their crew and he brought us on the bus to roll another and a couple of the band members from CIWAF and Faber drive where chilling in there smoking. good ol days.

[@graceb.1350]

[@gotTammi]

I remember the first time I heard this years ago, I instantly loved it x)

[@hurricanexaudrey]

brings bk lots of memories of 2008 when this song first came out

[@rileyortman1872]

it makes me so sad that this type of music is popular anymore.. this band is amazing. i cant believe this song came out when i was 11 years old. it honestly brings tears to my eyes knowing amazing bands like this arent around anymore/ stopped making music. i dont know why, it just make me so fucking sad. i listen to this song everyday in the car on the way to work and it makes me just wanna go back in time when i was a kid. this music will forever hold a unbreakable place in my heart. i fucking miss music like this. so much.

[@fortontj1746]

Still love this band Practice makes perfect

[@keidgrey]

2019 i still love this song

[@pinsforhearts8900]

Great song and band... Good memories... Maybe they'll release new full album!

[@courtnelee_]

The fact that Bert is in this song just makes me love it even more :3

[@titoalejandrogodoyflores8465]

Llevo años perdiendome esta gran canción y hasta ahora la escucho, me ha encantado.

[@holdenseeders5334]

i think what hes talking about is the live performance part.. that do that live and sync it up but in all they dont use the live audio so youre both of you are right in a way.

[@larsgould8125]

2016 Magic. should have millions of more views. Practice makes perfect.

[@screamoking24]

i like the message of the song..it;s really great.cute is what we aim for.\m/

[@gatorguy7g]

Still listening to this and its 2018!

[@TwilightTown]

These lyrics are so good. How he doesn't want to cheat but he thinks practicing it will make him break the habbit.

[@ghost111uin]

listening this in 2023. made me realize this is masterpiece compared to todays music ...

[@yxngjupe4101]

[@ec6933]

13 years ago...I was 21...I had no idea what was coming. ... None. I used to listen to this so much. If only id known. Some thing's just can't be practiced against. What I wouldn't give to go back.

[@lyrikalkilla433]

I know the set for this video was such a vibe. No cell phones. No clout. No nothing. Just living in the moment. His I miss being 15

[@I_am_Jordan_K]

Shaant always looked, to me, like the type of singer that should be playing guitar as well. I always forget that he doesn't until I watch music videos lol

[@ceejaym10]
