lyrics

There’s a lock
A combination on the brain
It seizes up the thinkin’, it’s the source of the pain
And I’d rather not have to look you in the eye
Some days I’d rather lie down and die
When I haven’t slept in what feels like days
And I’m falling asleep standing up on the train
These stupid words are all that I’ve got
Please don’t think less of me when I start to talk

I’d like to see you caught off guard by your own smile
Go on outside wander the streets for a while
You in this song don’t actually exist
In the inevitable break up I won’t have to feel pissed
These pints and half pints are all that I’ve got
And in a few hours we have to get up
Hands of sleep grasping us down as we walk
It’s my own fault that I like to stay up
No matter what
