I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait There's a bobbypin in the crack of the hardwood floor I creep past it as I make my way down the hall You said baby come over here, take of your clothes I don't want to anymore. And I don't want to wake the dead with relics Of someone you used to love but never had I don't want to wait to talk about it That someoneI never met could tear us up There's a silence but you say you're not that guy And the hair that clogs the shower drain isn't mine I wash the sheets over and over so many times Trying to get her off your mind And I don't want to wake the dead with relics Of someone you used to love but never had I don't want to wait to talk about it That someone I never met could tear us up Tear me up, tear me apart Tear me up, tear me apart And I don't want to wake the dead with relics Of someone you used to love but never had I don't want to wait to talk about it That someone I never met could tear us up And I don't want to wake the dead with relics Of someone you used to love but never had I don't want to wait to talk about it That someone I never met could tear us up

I'm here with a broken heart In an empty bar Playing love songs baby Too bad they'll never be about you now Three beers in the parking lot We were smoking pot That the door guy gave me I guess I'm chasing dreams without you now Used to have me on my knees Scrolling past you on my feed It's a cycle that I'm trying to break but Wasted my twenties Blackout at parties Trying to meet somebody Well I guess I never did Wasted my twenties Blackout at parties Now I'm almost thirty Some habits just don't break Three years in my beat up car We were chasing stars Hoping we could be something Too bad I'll never really know you now Eyes fixed on the city lights Every song I write is a memory of us I guess I'll never get to show you now Used to have me on my knees Scrolling past you on my feed It's a cycle that I'm trying to break but Wasted my twenties Blackout at parties Trying to meet somebody Well I guess I never did Wasted my twenties Blackout at parties Now I'm almost thirty Some habits just don't break Wasted my twenties Blackout at parties Trying to meet somebody Well I guess I never did Well I guess I never did Some habits just don't break

Fuck that guy He's a fool I dated him Back in theatre school I was young The things I didn't know I'm better for it now He let himself go Fuck that guy He's insane All the shit he said All of the mind games I don't believe his songs Or his silver tongue Just let him lose touch With all he's ever loved Let him lose touch with me Let him lose touch with me Fuck that guy That's his style He wears a thin disguise And he has for a while You should have seen him then Trying to be a man He's a fucking wreck In an indie band Let him lose touch with me Let him lose touch with me

a few miles north of winnipeg with the sky above so wide we were standing there smoking on your grave when you asked me for a light i've been praying to the church of the queen of diamonds singing live while we are young we were drinking all the champagne from the bottle so tomorrow never comes "i'm a person who like loves to like find a sidewalk and strut on it (laughter)" you were dressed with gold up in your hair never getting older than now we spoke our secrets to your skin and you wear them in your crown i've been praying to the church of the queen of diamonds singing live while we are young we were drinking all the champagne from the bottle so tomorrow never comes and he said speak your truth before i'm dead it's been hanging heavy on my head and on the drive i broke down crying i still think of you as my old friend i've been praying to the church of the queen of diamonds singing live while we are young we were drinking all the champagne from the bottle so tomorrow never comes

Wanna leave, wanna leave I can't be alone with you This time we have more to lose I can't be alone with you I can't Baby i was onto you Had me figured out before i knew Baby i don't want you Baby i don't want you Maybe i was lonelier with you Baby i was onto you Had me figured out before i knew Baby i don't want you Baby i don't want you Maybe i was lonelier with you Wanna leave, wanna leave I can't be alone with you I'd drag you down if i could move I could say the things that i want to I won't, i won't, i won't, i won't Baby i was onto you Had me figured out before i knew Baby i don't want you Baby i don't want you Maybe i was lonelier with you Baby i was onto you Had me figured out before i knew Baby i don't want you Baby i don't want you Maybe i was lonelier with you I can't be alone with you Swallowed pride and ego bruised Of all the things we can't undo I can't Wanna leave, wanna leave I can't be alone

I park across the street from The place we grew up in Where new people live I look in the window To see if it's changed some I'm sorry I did And this town will chase you Like you're a traitor You keep on running But you keep coming back And all of the bodies are buried inside of my head All my old friends are working just for the rent And the bars we blacked out in Are closing down sooner or later This town won't miss you Out in the church yard Where you and I first parked Well we were just kids The light from the radio You promised you'd go slow And I'm sorry you did And this town will chase you Like you're a traitor You keep on running but you keep coming back And all of the bodies are buried inside of my head All my old friends are working just for the rent And the bars we blacked out in Are closing down sooner or later

Bought a one way ticket out Left a note at your mother's house It said all the dreams I left behind were yours While you were getting stoned I made a living on my own My bags are packed I won't look back at all I've been having bad days I had them all along I don't know the right way To tell you that you're wrong I've been having late nights Anxious and alone I don't know the way back Even if I want I chased you down with gin Closed the bar at the motor inn I wake up in my car in an empty lot Back account withdrawn Every weekend gone Lost every bet Got a long way left to go I've been having bad days I had them all along I don't know the right way To tell you that you're wrong I've been having late nights Anxious and alone I don't know the way back Even if I want I don't know the way back Even if I want Bought a one way ticket out Left a note at your mother's house

You look pretty you know Under exit sign glow Bathed in a halo of red light Cracked lip grin Soaked in gin Won't you take me home tonight? We sat there in silence Inside of your Chevrolet babe We were both lying Driving home through Michigan State Cut the lights, go slow Keep the stereo low Who have you been hiding this whole time? We sat there in silence Inside of your Chevrolet babe We were both lying Driving home through Michigan State "Hey it's me, give me a call back when you get this. Okay?"
