lyrics

We’re sitting on your couch drinking whiskey straight from the bottle and im eyeing all the things I cant have. If I could sum up succinctly, my emotions, it wouldn’t be. “Im sixteen, date me” but more along the lines of “I wish I could speak the way I am” and that’s. my life. Put as bluntly as possible. Im not on some Evan Thomas Weiss. shit, Im. not into. it over it, don’t expect any goddamn elaboration. But there. should still. be some consideration. Youre the most chronically afraid person I know, and that’s ok. It makes. me in. to the person that I’d hoped to be some day but not. right now. Im growing. up too quickly watching my childhood pass by and for what? A chance at. a good college and a life full of lies, Id rather. die. So lets weave this goddamn narrative, lets be generic emo kids, if that’s. what. it. takes. to feel alright
