lyrics

Lyrics:

It’s like a claw machine. no chance of winning but the process of losing’s an exciting one
It’s like a romance novel, no plot or anything just avoiding saying things that we already know
she’s out the closet now, sorry I told you when I was drunk I meant to tell you sober but the moment just never felt right
no I do not mind what state you were in at the time, I’m just glad that I know now thank you for telling me

Yeah I care about your future cuz in every Scenario in my mind
Our paths will cross more often then every so often, so your future directly involves mine

I got back to the car it was so hot I could barely breath I had to roll some windows down to try and move some air
There were beads of sweat, speckling my upper lip my rental car was all black with all black leather seating
I’ll be leaving soon, won’t be back for a couple months but history shows we’re the type of friends who can pick up where we left off
Making eye contact, making double entendres so we can talk about secrets in front of everyone

What if this heat wave kills us? would that really be the end of the world?
What if everything that gave me faith was set on fire and thus erased that’s kinda shit that keeps me up at night
and its reality for some people in my life
So what’s the worst case scenario? Does it really sound all that terrible?
what if every time I opened my mouth something mundane and cliché comes out would you still be here clapping at my shows?

What if they call us hipsters? what if they make fun of our cloths and hair cuts? what if they say “oh my god. their atheistic is so extra” do you really think that’d bother you too much?

So let’s be hipster scum. we can home make organic kimchi and
When I go grocery shopping I can pick us up kombucha and we can drink it from mason jars exclusively
And do you believe in miracles? Because I’m honestly quite skeptical
Sometimes people associate what is just two random acts of fate it make them happy but I’m too cynical

I should be more open
When life throws me a bone
