I’m looking at a calendar and thinking of you
I’m wondering if you’re free to meet in June
Oh, I’ve got time now
Time for you
Oh, you can have it all but you can’t have it all at once
I haven’t had a laugh like that in months
Want to slow the clock down
A bunch
I’m so sad
Know it will pass
But I’ll miss this when I bounce back
Call you from a car and you answer on a train
Admonish me for smoking in the rain
Watch me burn my night down
Repeat refrain
I’m so sad
Know it will pass
But I’ll miss this when I bounce back
I’ll miss this when I bounce back
Yeah, I’ll miss this when I bounce back
I’ll miss this when I bounce back

the hits

Oh my god, I’m feeling sober
Just arrived, the party’s over
Blinked and everyone I know got older
I’d do anything, to feel young again
Cause I just want to hear the hits
Just want to hear some words that I’m familiar with
I just want to hear the hits
Raid the stockpile of old letters
An emotional bomb shelter
I’m trying to feel, I’m not trying to feel better
I’d give anything, to feel real again
I just want to hear the hits
Just want to feel the way that I remember it
I just want to hear the hits
Every lonesome note I sing I sing to you
Every wholesome tone is lonely too
Play me something sad and slow and long
We all the know words, so we all sing along
We just want to hear the hits
Just want feel like we're a little part of this
We just want to hear the hits
Hear the hits

sick ride

Summon the hearse, I heard somebody died
And they’re gonna need a pretty sick ride
Finish up lunch before making the drive
All we’ve ever had was our pride
And everybody’s bleeding
Keep me up late with your mystery eyes
Personal growth exercise
Can’t fall asleep in a bed twice my size
Caffeine too close to sunrise
Is anyone still dreaming?
No one wants to see you lose,
So they turn and look the other way
Now you’re free if you can choose
To leave winning for yesterday
Fasten your purse before she slips it inside
The cash your mom continues to hide
Tighten your belt when it comes dinnertime
How’d you blow through every last dime?
Lie and say you’re eating
No one wants to see you lose,
So they turn and look the other way
Now you’re free if you can choose
To leave winning for yesterday.
It might sometimes get you downtown
Hiding out in the crowd
No one wants to see you lose,
So they turn and look the other way
Now you’re free if you can choose
To leave winning for yesterday
