lyrics

Wake up, another day just like the rest
Sorta hungover, sorta depressed
Clear my throat and pound my chest
Zone out for a few and then get dressed
Try to figure out what to do with all my time

Even though it's like mid-October
Scrape my windshield, try to get over
Things I'm not sure I wanna get over
Things I'm pretty sure are keeping me from sober
Because, versus sober, not wins every time

And I know I'm gonna die
But it's gonna take such a long, long time
And I don't know what to do with my afternoon
So I guess there's nothing left to do now
But walk to Joe's and gather everyone around
Put Xena on and drink until we pass out

And I got rid of those metaphors
I've got no use for anymore
Because real life's sad enough
Really starting to worry that I might be a fuck up
The bills are piling up and up and up and up and up and up
Yeah, real life's sad enough

There's something about looking at the trophy case
Reflecting on the pints of poison intake
That makes me sad but makes me feel okay
There's something about looking back, remembering
The way I spent the last three years' Thanksgivings
Two in all night diners with Chris, one drunk with Jenny and Alex
And I never thought that my life would be anything like this

I can't stop thinking about that kid that might have died
If we didn't pick him up that night
He was drunk and walking home
Turning blue, sixteen years old
And back when I worked at the grocery mart
I knew an addict with a golden heart
He said, "Hey Jay-bay-bay, sometimes it's tough
To not give up when no one backs you up"

So I'm thankful to have friends
Who make sure I make it back to my bed
Instead of leaving me passed out on the couch
So I guess there's nothing left to do now
But gather everybody that I love around
And drink, dance, laugh, fuck around (make fun of Gabrielle)
Until time runs out

As A Lark Ypsilanti, Michigan

They have more elaborate calls than most birds, and often extravagant songs given in display flight. These melodious sounds (to human ears), combined with a willingness to expand into anthropogenic habitats — as long as these are not too intensively managed — have ensured larks a prominent place in literature and music. ... more
