Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One night
I had a thought
What if we all did anything we want?
We quit our jobs
We went outside
No one could tell us how to live our lives
[Verse 2]
One night
I took a drug
I gave 300 uninvited hugs
You went to bed
I hit the floor
I don't think that we should get together anymore
[Verse 3]
One night
Came and went
Spent lots of money, it was money well spent
I tacked on some credit card, credit card debt
On a night that didn't mean nothin'
A night I'll probably forget
[Verse 4]
One night
I had a feeling
Bust through a wall, cut through the ceiling!
27 club
And I'm still fuckin' breathing
I'm hyperventilating in a building full of people
[Verse 5]
It's beginning to feel like I've
Been training my whole life for nothing
I've been meaning to tell you something
You gotta lean into life just a little
I think I'm breaking my own heart
I think I'm making my own self sick at the thought of getting sick
I don't leave anymore
Did I leave my keys in the door?
It was so peaceful before
[Verse 6]
Come on, buddy
You gotta lean into life a bit
Ya gotta callous up them hands and get some dirt under them fingertips
I've felt thicker skin in papier-mache ornaments
Another Christmas Eve and you're still bumming out about the same shit
[Verse 7]
Come on, my friend
Yeah, you're really going through it
You got all this free time, no fuckin' idea what to do with it
Sounds an awful lot to me like you like talking 'bout your bootstraps
Go to hell, I am the Devil
Tryna claw my way to heaven
[Verse 8]
I am regretful
We had a weekend filled with cocaine and Essentia
It was fun or not? I can't really remember
Yeah, we wonder why we can't reach our potential
I am regretful
[Verse 9]
Yeah, my head is in the gutter
Do we really need this shit to love each other?
Another cycle of get fucked up then recover
I just wanna be a better older brother
My head is in the gutter
[Verse 10]
It's beginning to feel like I've
Been training my whole life for nothing
I've been meaning to tell you something
You gotta lean into life just a little
I think I'm breaking my own heart
I think I'm making my own self sick at the thought of getting sick
I don't leave anymore
Did I leave my keys in the door?
It was so peaceful before
