lyrics

I've got a barrel on my back and it is breaking my bones
You've got some whiskey in your flat for when you're feeling alone
I've got a feeling that you'll find out that I already know
This is never gonna stop until it's out of control

But you

Never made me think of god so to speak
Draped in an american velvet t
Never looked so beautiful to me
Never looked so beautiful to me

I wasn't in it for the fiscal or the visceral side
If I had a car I'd say I'd pack up my shit and drive
But I don't even have my licence and I'm broke as hell
I guess I'll just stay here wishing I could help myself

But you

Always were the right one or so it seemed
Never made a promise to me we'd be
Mutually exclusive or so to speak
Never looked so beautiful to me
