Sadsacking
from "Stay Young Forever" by Seaholm
lyrics
i'll ride my skateboard across campus
to see what you're up to
i'll take the long way home
if you've got better things to do
and i'm looking for a reason why
i'd need to leave this couch
this time tomorrow
and i'll take you with me,
we could ride my skateboard.
and someday i'll learn how to give the right fucks
and i will set the record straight that these
sad songs that i've been singing
are just melodies and words.
and someday i'll learn how to screw my head on straight
pick it up and put the pieces back together
if i knew how, if i knew how.
i never knew, i never knew how.
you used to be so funny when you got high
and you stood in the center of the room.
you were the center of attention,
the part i was always so desperate for.
all the right friends and all the wrong decisions,
breaking windows and slamming doors all night.
one drink turns into four or five,
it's not your worst idea, but this is not how i planned this out.
and someday i'll learn how to give the right fucks,
but i'm too tired, too hungover to go outside.
songs ringing in the back of my head,
they never meant nothing to anyone but me.
and someday i'll learn how to shut the fuck up,
my tongue's a shovel that's been digging me down too deep,
but don't you're only twenty-one, you should be having fun
instead of crying yourself to sleep.
walking home, i guess you'd rather be alone.
to see what you're up to
i'll take the long way home
if you've got better things to do
and i'm looking for a reason why
i'd need to leave this couch
this time tomorrow
and i'll take you with me,
we could ride my skateboard.
and someday i'll learn how to give the right fucks
and i will set the record straight that these
sad songs that i've been singing
are just melodies and words.
and someday i'll learn how to screw my head on straight
pick it up and put the pieces back together
if i knew how, if i knew how.
i never knew, i never knew how.
you used to be so funny when you got high
and you stood in the center of the room.
you were the center of attention,
the part i was always so desperate for.
all the right friends and all the wrong decisions,
breaking windows and slamming doors all night.
one drink turns into four or five,
it's not your worst idea, but this is not how i planned this out.
and someday i'll learn how to give the right fucks,
but i'm too tired, too hungover to go outside.
songs ringing in the back of my head,
they never meant nothing to anyone but me.
and someday i'll learn how to shut the fuck up,
my tongue's a shovel that's been digging me down too deep,
but don't you're only twenty-one, you should be having fun
instead of crying yourself to sleep.
walking home, i guess you'd rather be alone.
