No Better

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.

We roll in heavy summer

When there’s strength in our numbers

And your breath’s hot and gross

But I kiss you like a lover

Legs stick to the seats of the car someone grew into

I forget the knowledge from the lessons that I went to

And Jamie picks fights

But they’re weak and short-lived

Because no one can be bothered

When it’s humid like this

And we roll in heavy summer like

It’s shameful to be underneath

The ceiling or a roof

Try come out and steal our thunder

Now the days are getting cooler

And the burning of our limbs

Doesn’t happen quite as bad

As the burn is just skin

Deep in the fantasies and dreams of the winter

Like the movies that we watched

To pretend it wasn’t winter

And everywhere we go

I can feel a subtle taste of the deeds outgrown

And the welcome overstayed

And you’re no better at swimming

Than you were in the beginning

But you come over at night

And we practice all the breathing

Go all the way

Have your fun, have it all

This will take you down

Get through the days

Do your thing, do it well

This will take you down

Go all the way

Have your fun, have it all

This will take you down

Get through the days

Do you your thing, do it well

This will take you down

I’ll pull the trick if I want to

I’ll pull the trick and it comes true

I’m chewing gum and it’s killing you

We’re getting dead and it’s the right way to do it

I see you happy in the front seat

I see you with all of your front teeth

You’re allergic but you never said

We’re getting dead and it’s the right way

Go all the way

Have your fun, have it all

This will take you down

Get through the days

Do your thing, do it well

This will take you down

Go all the way

Have your fun, have it all

This will take you down

Get through the days

Do your thing, do it well

This will take you down
