lyrics

Obligations
of the social sort beckon again
and not attending
would move my rating to a 0 from a 4/10
so I'm driving us all there, though it'd be better for my health
to stay home and fantasize about drowning myself
because my need to be liked
slightly outweighs my sense of self-preservation.

Enter the basement, now sitting adjacent
to Her so I can small talk.
"Is that a new wristwatch?"
Keg-stands in the corner unfold as I inform Her
that I'm sober tonight night. "Ya'know,
if you need a ride home."

Sober lies
become drunk messes, become sober problems
so I'm staying sober
to avoid upsetting this delicate balance
and I haven't given up on my dreams of getting over Her
but it's made much more difficult by the fact that she is sober-er
than I ever will be.
Quite frankly, honestly, uhhhh

It's hard to stay forlorn. My face is getting warmer
as blood rushes to it 'cause she said "I knew it"
in response to me reveling some deep reserved feelings
about Coldplay's 4th record.
She makes my head hurt.

This'd be easier wasted. The air has a taste and
it's vodka, testosterone, Everclear, pheromones.
