I CAN'T RECALL
THE LAST TIME THAT WE TALKED
ABOUT ANYTHING
BUT LOOKING OUT FOR COPS
WE GOT CIGARETTE BURNS
ON THE SAME SIDE OF OUR HANDS
BUT WE AIN'T FRIENDS
WE'RE JUST MORONS
WHO BROKE SKIN
IN THE SAME SPOT
BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU
TAKE A TURN THAT WIDE
AND I'M HIGH ENOUGH
TO STILL CARE IF I... DIE
SO, I TRIED TO READ
THE THOUGHTS THAT YOU
WORKED OVERTIME TO STOP
YOU SAID, FUCK OFF
AND I SAID NOTHIN' FOR A WHILE
YOU KNOW I THINK ABOUT YOU
ALL THE TIME
AND MY DEEP
MISUNDERSTANDING
OF YOUR LIFE
AND HOW BAD IT MUST HAVE
BEEN FOR YOU BACK THEN
AND HOW HARD IT WAS
TO KEEP IT ALL INSIDE
I HOPE YOU SETTLE DOWN
I HOPE YOU MARRY RICH
I HOPE YOU'RE SCARED OF
ONLY ORDINARY SHIT
LIKE MURDERERS AND GHOSTS
AND CANCER ON YOUR SKIN
AND NOT YOUR SOUL
AND WHAT HE MIGHT DO WITH IT
YOU INCHED YOURSELF
ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE
WHILE WE DROVE AIMLESSLY
ALONG THE TWIN STATE LINE
I HEARD NOTHING
BUT THE BASS IN EVERY
BALLAD THAT YOU'D PLAY
WHILE YOU SWORE TO GOD
THE SINGER READ YOUR MIND
BUT THE WORLD IS SCARED
OF HESITATING THINGS
YEAH, THEY ONLY SHOOT
THE BIRDS WHO CANNOT SING
AND I'M FINALLY AWARE
OF HOW SHITTY AND UNFAIR
IT WAS TO STARE AHEAD
LIKE EVERYTHING WAS FINE
YOU KNOW I THINK ABOUT YOU
ALL THE TIME
AND MY DEEP
MISUNDERSTANDING
OF YOUR LIFE
AND HOW BAD IT MUST HAVE
BEEN FOR YOU BACK THEN
AND HOW HARD IT WAS
TO KEEP IT ALL INSIDE
I HOPE YOU SETTLE DOWN
I HOPE YOU MARRY RICH
I HOPE YOU'RE SCARED OF
ONLY ORDINARY SHIT
LIKE MURDERERS AND GHOSTS
AND CANCER ON YOUR SKIN
AND NOT YOUR SOUL
AND WHAT HE MIGHT DO WITH IT
AH, LORD
RAGE IN SMALL WAYS
DID YOU WISH
THAT I COULD KNOW
YOU'D FADE TO SOME PLACE
I WASN'T BRAVE ENOUGH TO GO
I HOPE YOU SETTLE DOWN
I HOPE YOU MARRY RICH
I HOPE YOU'RE SCARED OF
ONLY ORDINARY SHIT
LIKE MURDERERS AND GHOSTS
AND CANCER ON YOUR SKIN
AND NOT YOUR SOUL
AND WHAT HE MIGHT DO WITH IT
AH... LORD
OH...
AH...
AH...
I HOPE YOU THREW A BRICK
RIGHT INTO THAT STAINED GLASS
I HOPE YOU'RE WITH SOMEONE
WHO ISN'T SCARED TO ASK
I HOPE THAT YOU'RE NOT LOSING
SLEEP ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT
OR ABOUT YOUR SOUL
AND WHAT HE MIGHT DO WITH IT
