Lyrics
Carl Barker
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.
There's no sense in me staying
Then why does it matter?
(It doesn't matter, it never mattered)
I hope someday soon maybe we'll finish this chapter
(I can't ever finish this chapter)
And now at this moment I don't know what else to think
There's no sense in me saying: I guess I still miss you
So now I need names and faces
Examine the suspects
Get the D.A. here now
You'll tell everyone that it's so much fun
Say to all my friends it never ends
While we're driving through all the alleyways
We picked up some happiness on the way
I'll tell everyone that it's so much fun
Say to all your friends it never ends
While we're driving through all the alleyways
I picked up some happiness on the way
Just because you move your hips
Doesn't mean that you exist
Just because you move your lips
Doesn't mean that you exist
Can we just take a fucking break
Cause I feel like I've got nothing left
I guess I still miss you
Oh well it's me and you
What else should we do
When talking's for functioning people
I guess I still miss you
But talking's for functioning people
I guess I still miss you
You'd always say we'd win the lottery some day
So I wouldn't have to go away
I should have known that I'd had it all along
But I didn't know till you were gone
Let's see you function now
Touch your nose, jump around
Footprints, in God we trust
Jes-you, Jes-me, Jesus
Pick up ten sac, orange crush
Two bottle, cups and blunts
What do scorn lovers do?
Dancing with all my crew
Drink and drive life away
Gamble with everyday
Just because you move your hips
doesn't mean that you exist
Just because you move your lips
doesn't mean that you exist
Can we just take a fucking break
Cause I feel like I got nothing left
I guess I still miss you
Oh well it's me and you
What else should we do
When talking's for functioning people
I guess I still miss you
But talking's for functioning people
I guess I still miss you
You'd always say we'd win the lottery some day
So I wouldn't have to go away
I should have known that I'd had it all along
But I didn't know till you were gone
