Hello, there's a place I've been going

There's a place I've been going

Now I'm clean, it would seem

Let's go somewhere I'll be seen

As sad as it seems

I seen Greg and he was like

Seen friends at the birthday party

They were kinda fucked up before it even started

They were gonna go to the Pinegrove show

They didn't know about all the weird stuff

So they just left it (so they just left it)

I was wasted (I was wasted)

And cold, minding my business

And I seen the girls and they were all like

Do you wanna come and get fucked up?

Listen, I got myself a missus

So there can't be any kissing

No, don't be afraid, you better wise up, kid

It's all Adderall now

It doesn't make you wanna do it

This ain't going well, I thought I was stuck in hell

In a boring conversation with a girl called Mel

'Bout her friend in Cincinnati called Matty as well

Pulled away when I went in for the kiss

No, it wasn't a diss

You put the tap on, cover up the sound of your piss

After four years, don't you think I'm over all this?

That's rich from a man who can't shit in a hotel room

He's gotta share for a bit

You make a little hobby out of going to the lobby

To get things that they don't have

Does it go through ya when I'm talking to ya?

You know that I could sue ya if we're married

And you fuck up again

Impress myself with stealth and bad health

And my wealth and regressive causes

Then drink your kombucha and buy an Ed Ruscha

Surely, it's a print 'cause I'm not made of it

Look, the fucking state of it

I came pretty late to it

We can still be mates 'cause it's only a picture

All your friends in one place

Oh, we're a scene, whatever that means

I depend on my friends to stay clean

As sad as it seems

As sad as it seems

As sad as it seems
