lyrics

We always said things would be different--
"Once we get out of college..."
"Once we get our own apartment..."
We could both get grown up haircuts
And play sudoku
Spend our Sundays running errands

There’s putting the cart before the horse
Then there's hanging reins on a horse that was stillborn
There’s a ray of hope
that was a life raft around the throat of a corpse
And an armchair knowledge of freshman lit
Doesn't give you the right to use that down your nose tone
I've been waiting for Godot since the day I was born.

Guess you know the best.
But, you forget,
that you forget the rest.

We could march in staggered step
holding hands through the darkness of our contempt,
but, within the context of what you've had to offer so far
I’d say it’s for the better if it were separate
And if your taking bets on who can last the longest
I can count my losses
'Cause you’re fucking flawless

Maybe taking the heat for a fifth I didn’t drink
isn’t a covenant wherever you come from, but
Sometimes I’m on a one way bridge
with a cop on my ass after I missed my exit
Trying to flip a bitch without rousing suspicion
you gave me directions
I thought you had this

And before you know it, we'll become nostalgic.
and the memories will be left hidden
inside of a shoebox in the closet.
On a broken cassette tape, reduced to greatest hits.
And I’m stuck with the bits that make me sick
Can you tend a garden without your bullshit?
Can you not commit?
Can you not come in?
Can you not come in?
