Exhausting Lover
I woke up in a truck stop parking lot
A girl in a red white and blue halter top
Was staring
Thick glasses like mine
And a low bored monotone vocal fry (I like that)
She said, "Who's the band on that bus?"
"What bus?"
"That one nerd, the one that you got off of"
"Oh, probably no one you've heard of"
Don't know what came over me
As I awkwardly dropped my room key
I said, "I think that's yours"
And three hours later
I was banging this verse out
Oh, no
Head meet floor
I don't wanna do this no more
Every kiss is a jam band solo
Never gonna say "YOLO no mo'"
My mind says "No"
My body says "Hell no"
Let this be over
Exhausting lover
Not sure if she couldn't stop or if she wouldn't stop
As the motel carpet gave me five more raw spots
What's that stabbing my back?
(Ah, that's a wire from her halter top)
There was an hour where I had kept banging
Against the bottom of a table-top
I saw my life in a split screen, but life's just one shot
What the hell would I tell my girlfriend
The thing is she's not my girlfriend
Anymore
I traded it all for some third degree carpet burn
(Oh, look out)
Oh, no
Head meet floor
I don't wanna do this no more
Every kiss is a jam band solo
Never gonna say "YOLO no mo"
My mind says "No"
My body says "Hell no"
Let this be over
Exhausting lover
Then she handed me a hot wheels track
I said, "Girl, that's pretty weird
Where did you get that?"
She said, "Never mind that
Here nerd beat my ass in the bath
Like my dad did when I was a bad kid"
I said, "Nah, what's this?
Let me up out of this Hotel Six
And tell me where my pants went"
That's when I heard the door breaking
It wasn't housekeeping
It was her boyfriend
Don't know what came over me
Out the door in my boxer briefs
Some dude live tweeted
As I run half-naked past a cracker barrel
Oh, no
Head meet floor
I don't wanna do this no more
Every kiss is a jam band solo
Never gonna say "YOLO no mo"
My mind says "No"
My body says "Hell no"
Let this be over
Exhausting lover
I don't wanna do this no more
Exhausting lover
I don't wanna do this no
A girl in a red white and blue halter top
