High Fives

left me all but dead there

headed out back east

woke up on the porch where

the night before we drank ourselves to sleep

stick between a drunken daydream

and real eviction threats

I thought that you might love me

fuck the landlord, fuck the rent

alright, high fives for low lives

drinking lonely, heartsick drinks tonight

some days, some nights just slip by

sometimes I'm wishing that this world would die

show me the sunny side of regret

tell me the one about sure thing bets

paid in full without consequences

I know why you have to believe in lies

yeah, and I know tonight when I close my eyes

when the room spins, when the brain stops

there's a chance I can let this go for now

try to keep four walls from doing their worst

I know damn well that this is not the first

or the last of drinking with the lights out

wondering where you went

should've know it'd be more of the same shit luck

got enough losing hands to keep myself fucked

'til it rains down dollars in the ghetto

I'll hold my breath 'til then yeah

alright, high fives for low lives

drinking lonely, heartsick drinks tonight

some days, some nights just slip by

sometimes I'm wishing that this world would die
