3 sips into my 5th beer
At someone’s parents’ house
She asks about my semester
Doesn’t know that I dropped out
I’m standoffish, awkward and exhausted
Likely talking too loud
And like that, I’m back in high school
Foot planted firm in mouth
And suddenly it dawns on me
Every time that I come home
Everyone is always right where I left them
And in this moment, I’m boiling over
Everywhere but my shoulder
‘Cause they’re the same kids they were
Never grew up, just got older
A half sip left in this mess
Of crumpled aluminum
He’s cocked, now spouting off
About how no one’s fair to Trump
And do I choose to leave the room
or tear into what I assume
Is a mind made up and set in stone?
I should just get up
I should just go home
And honestly I’m
Well aware I am the buzzkill at parties 'cause
“It’s not that deep, man”
And “you know that’s not the way that he meant it”
So why am I talking politics
With some bird-chested bigot with shit cigarettiquette
A Massachusettsian proud confederate
They’re the same kids they were
Never grew up just got older
And I probably should’ve just stayed home
And no I haven't forgotten
The errors of my youth
They never leave me
Fuck who I used to be
Fuck who we used to be
3 sips into a cold brew
Nursing a dull headache
You ask how I’m doing
It’s the same shit, a different day
I’m dreaming of the backseat
with my best friends and the highway
'Til then I’m clocking out and in
Again and again and again and again
And honestly I’m
(And suddenly)
well aware I am the buzzkill at parties 'cause
(It dawns on me)
Because “it’s not that deep, man”
(Every time that I come home)
And “you know that’s not the way that he meant it”
(Everyone is always right where I left them)
So why am I talking politics
(And in this moment)
With some bird-chested bigot with shit cigarettiquette
(I’m boiling over)
A Massachusettsian proud confederate
(Everywhere but my shoulders)
They’re the same kids they were
Never grew up, just got older
Never grew up, just got older
