lyrics

i laughed more than i cried today for the first time in a week
and i finally mustered up the strength to sleep without a sheet
until you wake me in the morning
with a plan for our whole day
and i'm okay

i ran more than i walked today for the first time in a month
guess it's time for me to stand up, swallow all my pills at once
and when you look me in the eye, i'll say, hey dad,
i'm not the person i once was

my life was just a motocross event
where all the bikes and drivers end up dead
then you showed up,
a night gown knit from seatbelts
caught my heart inside your palm
and i can't wait till we're both gone

last night i raced the interstate, and the interstate, it won
'cause my thoughts might have some speed
but this old minivan's got none
and as i floor it through the floodlights, my anxiety's undone
i see the sun

so i'll roll one in a parking lot and try to write some song
i'll dream about the day when all my nights aren't so damn long
and these swisher sweets hold secrets than i haven't told my mom
they'll come along

i'll spend my whole life trying to get clean
i'll roll all of my blunts in gasoline
and i'll spark that fucker up until i burn my whole life down
and i hope that one day i'll see you around
