lyrics

last night I passed out early
and this morning I was running late
I get so disappointed with how I'm determined
but struggle to relate

this summer hit some high notes
and this winter won't come close
I've had the same fucking song stuck in my head
and I'm ready to go home

wherever that is
whoever that is
whenever that is
whatever that is
however I can

for a spell I lost my sorrow
like a number in my phone
I dodged an evening of regret brought on by the sunset
and me walking home alone

I ain't been promised no tomorrow's
and I ain't laying here in bed
my heads under water with weights on my ankles
but I ain't hit the bottom yet

wherever that is
whoever that is
whenever that is
whatever that is
however I can

and I'm breaking on those brakes
I'm head faking on those brakes
it's a pump fake on those brakes
and I'm still alive

my friends all think I'm lazy
or just some big old time try hard
I took the longest way possible back to the hospital
counting every car

dragon slaying don't come easy
and being cool lacks all the heart
it was a feeble pilgrimage that ends at the last hedge
in the corner of our yard

wherever that is
whoever that is
whenever that is
whatever that is
wherever that is
whoever that is
whenever that is
whatever that is
however I can

and I'm breaking on those brakes
I'm head faking on those brakes
it's a pump fake on those breaks
and I'm still alive

and I'm breaking on those brakes
I'm head faking on those brakes
it's a pump fake on those breaks
and I feel alive
