Salutations - Recorded at Spotify Studios NYC
Salutations to whom it may concern
Well, the litter box has overflowed, the frozen dinner burned
We're running low on wine, my man, can you please swing by the store?
'Cause my TV's just reality and I can't watch no more
There's a shining diamond somewhere where a kid is striking out
His dad is in the dugout foaming at the mouth
And a stomach's turning sour inside of a disappointed scout
Would thought he'd found the real deal but now he's got his doubts
So, it's over before I began, I should have nursed you in the triage
I should have sawn you as some things but it's hopeless
These rule makes no sense
First they say we can't be lovers, now they say we can't be friends, no
Ruminations 'cause medicine don't work
I had that same thought ten thousand times
It's only getting worse, swore off temptation
What if it's what I really wanna do?
But how could I apologize for telling you the truth
There's a burnt out light bulb above my head
It's storing my ideas
There's a yearbook on the bookshelf that can't explain the years
Well, I never should have signed it
'Cause you know summer's coming soon
And when I almost drowned you gave me mouth-to-mouth
Beside your neighbor's pool
It was over before I began
You could've left me in the water but you made me live again
And I'm sorry that I can't pay you back
I wanna hold you 'til the world dissolves but we just can't get attached, no!
