it’s new years here already & i can’t remember your name
don’t ask me what i’m thinking ‘cause what you’re thinking is not the same
someone must have flipped a switch, it’s snowing in july
i’m coming back to haunt you & you won’t even ask me why

i know you think you’re comforting but you just make it worse
everything’s a joke to you & that’s what makes us work
i know i’m being harsh but there’s a lot you need to learn
who cares about who’s hurting when there’s money left to burn

but don’t let it concern you
it’s not like you’re alone
shake your legs awake
& leave a message your the tone
hold somebody next to you
& wait for the crowd to scatter
nothing good will come of this
but it doesn’t matter

you’ve been calling & calling & i hate when phones just ring
but if i speak to you this morning i might ruin everything
someone else will take me in when you’ve forgotten how
you don’t know what you’re saying, if you lived here you’d be sober by now

i brought my sad old camera, you can have it for a song
for every swing of the hammer i will try to swing along
there are cracks upon your tongue & your lips are turning blue
& if i can’t go with you now i don’t know what i will do

but i don’t let it hurt me
i’ll never be alone
i stop my hands from shaking
& try to find your phone
& i will hold you close to me
until the morning after
nothing good will come of this
but it doesn’t matter
