lyrics

playing battlefront one
the days when blink broke up
riding bikes to football practice
I'd burn a mix for all of my crushes

but now i'm mansplaining in Grant's basement
fumbling through eternal recurrence
and the cycles they ain't too rewarding
class to bar bar to bed and self-loathing

do you remember when we fell into the grass?
under the lights of Frost Bank
all dressed up in madras
you pulled me close and let down your gold hair
said, "hey, I'll be your everywhere"

it all started with the Accutane
aborted self at age 15
I could have listened to the doctors' caveats
instead I opted for the face of a diplomat

but now I'm stuck behind the turntable mixer
laughing at requests to play Pitbull's "Timber"
safe in here from all the stupid questions
I hate this cage, it's the worst, but it's addicting

(dat hook)

Tuesday night drunk at Fuzzy's again
just thinking about you
how your new life's been
all I can say is that I miss you a lot
Oh I know it's sentimental
but at least it's from the heart

(dat hook)
