Lyrics


1. MIKE KENNEDY IS A BAD FRIEND

Yo, head above water this year boys.


2. SOLO & CHEWY: HOLDIN' IT DOWN

"I bent my wookie!"

Been trying to think about anything but this
And how we're missing towns, we're missing out
The exit's on this strip
I've been wondering how, or if we'll ever get to sleep
Because we're sixteen hours in

This ride from Eric's house has been fucking up my shit
Because we stayed to watch the week's new Office, and now it's 12 AM
In the dirty south
You know we must be bored of this, because we're stealing from gas stations
And talking about how Arizona's airport is called Sky Harbor
I wonder if that's what the last song on Clarity is about
We're saying it loud

[Chorus]
Get to the Falcon, it's 3 AM and
We're delirious, cheating on the Atlantic
Talking about pawning all our shit
Buying Wave Runners and becoming pirates

We're part of this

And we've been falling apart
Like Richie's got a brand new stretch mark
Night drives start at Waffle House, and end at Wal-Mart
Breaking hearts of waitresses in seedy truck stops
Cause Steve's shirtless, pounding beers in the parking lot
Taking naked pictures in the Utah desert
"Yo man, I think that girl just saw your dick."

We're saying it loud

[Chorus]

If this is our time, the Denver Skyline is telling me to make up my goddamn mind (x2)

(If this is our time, the Denver Skyline is telling me to make up my goddamn mind)
Been trying to think about anything but this
(If this is our time, the Denver Skyline is telling me to make up my goddamn mind)
And how we're missing towns, we're missing out
(If this is our time, the Denver Skyline is telling me to make up my goddamn mind)
The exit's on this strip
(If this is our time, the Denver Skyline is telling me to make up my goddamn mind)
I've been wondering how, or if we'll ever get to sleep
(If this is our time, the Denver Skyline is telling me to make up my goddamn...)
Because we're sixteen hours in


3. WON'T BE PATHETIC FOREVER

Well I've been waking up at twelve P.M., in my boxers in this empty bed,
Eating Sour Patch Watermelons the boys murked the day before.
I'm watching bad reruns of Mad TV, this shits not even close to funny,
But I don't work today 'til three and the remote is on the floor.
So when are you coming over? Please, just say right now.

[Chorus]
We won't sleep our lives away,
And today (and today, and today and today)
We'll make waves.
In this lake of shit we've made, I refuse to sink.
We can't live our lives this way;
Not today (or today, or today.)
If this sea of metaphoric bullshit stays, I won't sink.

Well the party starts at nine P.M. in which ever house is close and vacant,
We'll call the ten friends we've got left to pretend we've got a life.
And the boys are slaying shitty brews, but I've been slaying orange juice.
You know we don't got shit to do, I guess we'll stay the night, fuck.
It's too cold out to ride my bike today.
It's been raining since we got home last week

[Chorus]

[Bridge](x2)
But some nights (I fucking love this town, I fucking love this town)
But most nights (I fucking hate this town, I fucking hate this)

Lately, I've been thinking 'bout being a doctor or a teacher (I refuse to sink)
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout being somebody at all; (I refuse to sink)
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout being a doctor or a teacher
Just someone that changes something.
Someone that changes something.
Someone that changes something.
Anything.


4. YOU'RE NOT SALINGER. GET OVER IT.

We're finding out some scummy fuck, just threw it in a 15 year old
I mean come on man, is that the life you want?
And they're tearing up these dead end blocks
Revealing all the shit we wished we forgot
In the shadow of this careless urban sprawl

My friends and I we're all fucked on the inside (x3)
But we don't let it run our lives

[Chorus]
(One day) I'll cough all of this shit out of my lungs
From second hand smoke in all night restaurants
(They'll be) Up in arms over all the shit we've done
Cause we're getting out
We're fucking gone

Caustic suburban sense of humor's gotten me in trouble
More than a few times
We're singing "Lucky" by Little League and
Fucking up until we get this right
Just cause we're down, doesn't mean we've gotta stay there
This fucking town is like a ship gone under water
And we'll all drown unless we cut ties to the anchor
We'd get swallowed here

[Chorus]

(So chin up and we'll drown a little slower hey) (x11)
Cause I'm bad at staying calm
And I know this town's a time bomb
And we've been dragging our feet too long, too long
We've been sinking all along
And we're gone, we're gone, and we're gone

[Chorus]
