lyrics

Cars of people giving up, coffee in my paper cup
Fighting for that morning rush, I've had enough
Highway like a parking lot, see some dude I cut him off
Impulse I'm too tired to stop, he yells - I flip him off

I don't know if we're coming or going
If I let go would anyone notice?

All my dreams are liquidating, sell 'em for the price we paid
Always taller glass of water, fuck California
Complicated killer, no one ever calls your bluff
When I look back on my life it feels just like a papercut

I don't know if we're coming or going
If I let go would anyone notice?

I think I wanna get drunk, think I wanna get stoned
Think I'll say something dumb so I can hang up the phone
Think I'll buy a new car, just to drive in a ditch
Rack up my credit card, pay it off when I'm rich
Yeah as soon as you turn twenty-five they write you off
Societal violence and yeah it's terminal
Can't look in the mirror again yeah it's making me sick
They're all out of dreams but they're still selling it

I don't know if we're coming or going
If I let go would anyone notice

Talking to me like you hate me, fucking up the bed we made
Wish I didn't bite my tongue, wish I never fell in love
You tell me to get a life, I say this one's bad enough
Every time I see you smile it looks just like a papercut
