lyrics

Chris knows I’m a sucker for a good line, he’s so mean and warm
And Mike goes looking for a good time, straight into my dorm
Dry heat
Dead of winter
Endless snowy plains
And we fuck as I look out the window ‘cause I love to hug the pain

Justine had a nose operation but she’s smokin anyway
I’ll be in the same situation if I snort enough someday
Cross campus, wear a parka
Cry in someone’s beer
Old ghosts know just how to find me even though I’m living here

and these are the BEST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE
these are the BEST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE
these are not the best years of my life

Up here, the sun is a hooker and my car won’t start
Each day I freeze in the shower with a fucked up heart
Cold feet, cold pizza
Colder one night stands
When I go down to the clinic, will you come and hold my hand

CHORUS

I can only swallow so much, but I’ll always drink some more
And everything gets blurry when we touch, but isn’t that what love’s for?

Big storm knocked out the power and it’s 32 degrees
I’ve got a class in an hour and rug burn on my knees
So proud being angry
That’s all I’m about
Some day the demons and I are gonna work this whole thing out.
