Lyrics

Melrose Diner

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.

I hate your bad tattoos and your second-hand stories

Those anecdotes that grew old last month

I hate the way you move when you're drunk and try dancing

It's not sexy

It's just keeping us up and I'm just not fond of anyone

But that's got everything to do with us

I hate the way I get when I can't handle bad news

It feels like I've been an asshole for months

All I've got left are these handfuls of fuck you and man

That's never enough

I guess I'm just down

I guess I'll be honest

I could use you around

I can't stand the dork that you're hanging with now

I guess I'll be honest

I could use you around

I hate the way that you can't keep your hair straight

I hate the way that you're leaning on me

I hate the way that you point out when girls are staring

Because you know that I won't do a thing

I hate the context clues you leave out of your writing

Because I can't find myself here at all

You know that I hate when you call me wasted

I expect it whenever you call

I guess I'm just down

I guess I'll be honest

I could use you around

I can't stand the dork that you're hanging with now

I guess I'll be honest

I could use you around

I could use you around

I could use you around now

My friends all say he's just a b-rate version of me

He's stuck on video games and weed

They're just trying to help me get to sleep

My friends all say you're sitting way too close to me

That I should just get up and leave

It's like I'm weighed down to the seat

My friends all say he's just the broke-dick version of me

They're just trying to help me get some sleep

I know he's what you need

I guess I'm just down

I guess I'll be honest

I could use you around

I can't stand the dork that you're hanging with now

I guess I'll be honest

I could use you around
