about

This is about being messed up and crazy but still having someone who loves you, even though they know you might not even love them back in the same way.

lyrics

There’s something wrong with taking a sip
If you take it all, then you lose your grip
At the end of the night you’ll go wrong
And forget all the friends you met the day before

There’s a point in saying moderately
“Maybe a dose of this won’t hurt me”
Let them running let them smell the smoke
that is coming from the canned goods I’m cooking tonight

“Hey John
I know what you did, you got lost
and you ran away
let me help you with the sweet loving
of the bug that you told me about yesterday”

And we’re messed up
And we’re messed up
But she loves you anyway

It’s a cliff or maybe it’s a light
I can’t even remember how to fly
But I’ll try anyway the things that you do
I’ve lost my way let’s try something new

It’s a song of misery and
It’s full of drums so maybe it’s good for me
I’ll scream and shout louder than the crowd
I’m hearing them all screaming in my mouth

“Hey John
I know what you did, you got lost
and you ran away
let me help you with the sweet loving
of the bug that you told me about yesterday”

And we’re messed up
And we’re messed up
But she loves you anyway

“Hey John
I know what you did, you got lost
and you ran away
show me about the sweet loving
of the bug that you told me about yesterday”

And we’re messed up
And we’re messed up
But she loves you anyway
But she loves you anyway
