Lyrics
42
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you're with another man inside another home
Do you adapt to the walls?
Do you adapt to the walls?
I found the newspaper thumbin' my hands through
Doing another dance, doing what I could
With it don't, you gotta leave me alone
And I wondered if you still lived at home
Yeah, I wondered if you still lived at home
What do you think you'd have done
Without a colder beer
A fresh pack of zigs and zags
Lighting another fag
I was hungover and you would come hang over
I was hungover and you would come hang over
And stop a biblical fire
You and your dad, what a tragic mishap
When a man loves drink more than blood
And I pace my room for an hour or two every day since 2001
And I think that I talk too much
