lyrics
One of these days they’re gonna find my brain
On the walls of an Amtrak train
I go through friends just like a canyon fire
All I want is you to moan my name
Haul my stupid beard to a different town
Who am I gonna let down next?
It ain’t that I don’t got feelings for you
I just break every feeling I get
And when I die the sequoia trees
Will still be wearing robes of moss
When I die my apartment key
Will presumably still fit the lock
We’ll tell a few jokes, what a fun guy
Turn the lights on and off
Turn the lights on and off
Bless the ones we never meant to hurt
For trying to trust us more
You know I shoulda just up and left
Instead of slept on your kitchen floor
There’s things about me you don’t need to know
In the shape of my face in the night
I’ll keep a list of what makes you laugh
If you kiss the lids of my eyes
And when I die the sequoia trees
Will still be wearing robes of moss
When I die my apartment key
Will presumably still fit the lock
We’ll tell a few jokes, what a fun guy
Turn the lights on and off
Turn the lights on and off
On the walls of an Amtrak train
I go through friends just like a canyon fire
All I want is you to moan my name
Haul my stupid beard to a different town
Who am I gonna let down next?
It ain’t that I don’t got feelings for you
I just break every feeling I get
And when I die the sequoia trees
Will still be wearing robes of moss
When I die my apartment key
Will presumably still fit the lock
We’ll tell a few jokes, what a fun guy
Turn the lights on and off
Turn the lights on and off
Bless the ones we never meant to hurt
For trying to trust us more
You know I shoulda just up and left
Instead of slept on your kitchen floor
There’s things about me you don’t need to know
In the shape of my face in the night
I’ll keep a list of what makes you laugh
If you kiss the lids of my eyes
And when I die the sequoia trees
Will still be wearing robes of moss
When I die my apartment key
Will presumably still fit the lock
We’ll tell a few jokes, what a fun guy
Turn the lights on and off
Turn the lights on and off
