So Long, Scott

Cats are in the streets
In the streets
You only get what you need
Only get what you need
What you need

He said "black cats are in the streets
You only get what you need"
She would steal beer from the store
"We don't have to eat"
"Why don't you take me, sweet prince?"
She had him convinced
He burned her name on his thigh
And pressed it against her skin

"You're another soul
In a world full of phones"
They embraced all summer long
Until she left him alone

Now she's his albatross
A cross carried for nothing at all
His fall blamed on a teenage girl
But the words came through so insecure

And life rolls on
Netflix until the day is gone
Snapchat is not your magical friend
You can hazard a guess on why you're depressed

I know what you thought
I know what you thought
Gotta cut the knot

I know what you thought
I know what you thought
So long, Scott...

He said, "One day I'll sail away
Google images of my face
Play my songs on those special days
When time has its say"

And now he's watching the stars in space
Floating down his river grave
I Google images of his face
Play his songs on those special days

And life just rolls on
Netflix until the day is gone
Snapchat is not your magical friend
You can hazard a guess on why you're depressed

I know what you thought
I know what you thought
Gotta cut the knot

I know what you thought
I know what you thought
So long, Scott...

He said "black cats are in the streets
You only get what you need"
She would steal beer from the store
"We don't have to eat"
