lyrics

Spring like a curse coming 'round--but don't that sun look good going down? We practice disinterested airs, take a pre-game shot and whisper a foxhole prayer. And funnel through the city's grid, alumni making eyes at the approaching skid. Hello, my new insomniatic friend. Make a filthy joke, a well-placed reference. I never mean to impose until we're birthday-drunk and leaning cousin-close. A decade drops beneath our feet. Not cool to drive, but not driving home alone, at least. We stumble through the city's grid, alumni, terrified of the approaching skid. By three, we're doing rails in her parents' den. We got the losers' luck. We're gonna fake the fearless skin. We kiss like carnivores in flat-screen’s glow. The screech of the morning birds—it comes in, low. It starts to grow, starts to grow. The daylight knows. The daylight knows.
