lyrics

I took a bite just an hour ago as you said “wait a minute I feel no effects”
Looking back now sounds like bonnie and clyde; I always thought wrong felt kinda more right
The weather down here gets evermore dense, around hour three the sounds made no sense

So you put a record on and tried to dance

Oooooo try to keep that head straight baby
Best friends since ms murphy
What do we mean in the empty? Haha!

You were born to be brash
Strapped and spatterin and bored in a flash
I was born, thanksgiving
Waving a flag that said thank you for living and thank you for trying
To keep me from dying

As your friend I feel dumb
When I left you, didn’t mean to leave glum
Naturally cold and kinda lazy
Always crying and I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry

I missed your call bout an hour ago, and I just saw your new phone will not accept texts
So I gotta call and hear your lame voice. Until I commit, its a possible choice
Cause James man I miss it but I’m getting older
Can talking to you bout the old days still help me grow?

It hurts to see all the facts reversed
How right was right and our wrongs got worse
One time bonnie and clyde tried hijack a hearse

We were born to be rad
Sort of lying about never feeling sad
Look at you, you were flying
I never was less scared of dying
Born to break backs over deals we could never take back
Ever cold, admittedly lonely
We still don’t accept help that we might need
