I WAS DRINKING LIQUOR, SURPRISE SURPRISE
I WAS SWIMMING THROUGH ALL OF YOUR LIES
ALL I SEE IN YOUR EYES WAS THE INNOCENCE
MELTING FASTER THAN THE ICE IN MY ESPOLON
IF YOU’D ASK ME THERE WAS NEVER A DOUBT
THAT ONE DAY WE’LL BOTH BE ALL FIGURED OUT
THAT YOU WERE MEANT FOR SO MUCH MORE
THAN ANY EASY STREET AND I’M A LOW LIFE
LOSER GETTIN’ HIGH ON BEING GONE
I USED TO DRINK A LOT
I STILL DO BUT I USED TO TOO
WE USED TO LAUGH A LOT
AND WE WILL THE NEXT TIME THAT I SEE YOU
YOU WERE THE LAST OF THE EDMOND GIRLS TO LEAVE
SOMETIMES ALONE AT NIGHT I JUST DRIVE AROUND
AND AS CLICHE AS I KNOW IT PROBABLY SOUNDS
THE GREATEST THING THAT COULD EVER DO
FOR YOURSELF IS ACCEPT APOLOGIES
THAT YOU‘RE NEVER GONNA GET
AND BLAMING EVERYONE FOR EVERYTHING YOU’VE DONE
WHILE BLAMING THEM FOR HOW THEY FEEL
WON’T GET THE MOMENT BACK
MY LITTLE HEART ATTACK TOO STUBBORN TO HEAL
NEVER HAD TO LEAVE TO FIND THAT WHAT YOU NEED
WHEN ALL YOU WANTED WAS THE BREEZE
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur

Will somehow managed to make it sound like the band was playing in an empty bar. Maybe that's what they were going for? (I wouldn't be surprised) luna_m
