lyrics

I know that it’s hard
What with all your friends and all the time you spend
Trying to waste other people’s time
So I don’t blame you for that
But when cars fly by and the liquid fills my mouth
And the girls begin to shout
Almost feels like you’re coming back

I slept on the couch as the trams filled up and I watched you leave the house
You had nothing to say but you wanted that
I felt so alone
With the nose bleed red, an East Brunswick sign that read:
“keep left”
Alone in the country keeping my eyes shut, not hoping to come back, I won't waste my time.

You may think that it shows, but you don’t know, and the beds fill up on the south western block.
You spend everything you’ve got
From back yard to back yard just trying to keep going
Until it all fizzles out and you’re left with nothing else to really care about

The best friends that you ever had are the friends that you never had
I can’t remember what you said but I take it with me somehow
It’s a late night drunken smile, or working so much that you hate time
Or left alone, walking home, happy and free for a while
If this makes sense it’s a story I’ve told and I hope I don’t get too old to see it through
But from me to you I felt better when I knew each word, each sound, as it came from your mouth
As though it were true
We live on through feelings, a long walk to the beach side
I met you so late that night, far too drunk
I won’t waste your time

The best time that you ever had was the time that you never had
You’re holding on to the summer as though it were something that you thought would last
But it’s a facade, it’s a mirage, when it’s twelve AM and you’re coming down
Eyes blood shot, grinning wide, your friends asleep inside.
