lyrics

And though the lines were improvised,
It always started off in exactly the very same way:
We'd leave that house a mess.

There's a dirty thrift store jacket
That's hung-up, forgotten like the litter on the floor.
Because the world seemed to wait.

I remember the days when we first met
(Uncool) Straight out of high school
Started off this way, we'll always be the same.

I remember the days when we first met
(We're not cool) Straight out of high school
Started off this way, we'll always be the same.

There was never any pretext for act one,
It was just a small town that never realized just quite how big it got.
The smoke from surrounding forest fires would occasionally lift
Just long enough for the act to begin.

I catch a line about love, spoken by a bleeding heart.
Much like everything else, it's poorly versed
So I think about how I'd never fuck someone who doesn't read books
Or highlights all their favorite parts.

I remember the days when we first met
(Uncool) Straight out of high school
Started off this way, yeah we'll always be the same.

I remember the days when we first met
(We're not cool) Straight out of high school
Started off this way, yeah we'll always be the same.

The screen door never closed properly in times like these.
It sat ajar and my feelings were the same:
Only half open.

The summer had come and gone,
Some lover had loved and longed,
And I hadn't learned anything.

We wrote the song.
We played the show.
And that's when we ran out of money.
(OH!!)

Oh, you heard me? No. You're not listening
Well maybe I should go. You called me?
No.

You never called me anything.

Oh, you heard me? No. You're not listening
Well maybe I should go. You called me?
No.

You called me never.

Oh! No! You're not listening! Maybe I should go!
No! You never called me anything!

Oh! No! You're not listening! Maybe I should go!
You called me no, you called me never.

I hope you get what you need – a fucking lobotomy.
You're holding on to what feels dear, like plastic surgery.
And even though you love me, there's others still above me
And I'm dying. I'm dying.

I'm dying.
