I Don't Skate (Anymore)
Waking up in a place where you are safe from me
You're so pretty when you're fading away from me
Quick to judge those hours that you spent in bed
I won't address how that's better than my swelled head
Cause I've been having pretty awful dreams
I shake off the sedatives, my sister starts to shriek
What the hell does it mean
The meaning's up to me
I guess the meaning's up to me
Rest in peace to the greatest band that never was
I pity the planet that never heard of us
It's not your fault
We fucked with what's intangible
Your hungry man was a starved autocannibal
It must be strange to pick apart these tunes
And realize that the lyrics mention things we meant to do
Sammy is that true?
I'll leave that up to you
I guess the meaning's up to you
Here's something I'm embarrassed to say
A couple months after we split I tried to learn to skate
And I wasn't great
I couldn't get it to go straight
Waking up in a place where you are safe from me
You're so pretty when you're fading away from me
Just twisted tongues
Just memories can understand
Just negative spaces and places to place our hands
Reminds me how I met a friend of mine
The way that he was sobbing right into his curly fries
Right guy, wrong time
Wrong by design
Whether it's the name of our band or a skateboard trick or an outdated term for surgery
I guess words are just words and the meaning's up to me
And I don't skate anymore
You're so pretty when you're fading away from me
Quick to judge those hours that you spent in bed
I won't address how that's better than my swelled head
Cause I've been having pretty awful dreams
I shake off the sedatives, my sister starts to shriek
What the hell does it mean
The meaning's up to me
I guess the meaning's up to me
Rest in peace to the greatest band that never was
I pity the planet that never heard of us
It's not your fault
We fucked with what's intangible
Your hungry man was a starved autocannibal
It must be strange to pick apart these tunes
And realize that the lyrics mention things we meant to do
Sammy is that true?
I'll leave that up to you
I guess the meaning's up to you
Here's something I'm embarrassed to say
A couple months after we split I tried to learn to skate
And I wasn't great
I couldn't get it to go straight
Waking up in a place where you are safe from me
You're so pretty when you're fading away from me
Just twisted tongues
Just memories can understand
Just negative spaces and places to place our hands
Reminds me how I met a friend of mine
The way that he was sobbing right into his curly fries
Right guy, wrong time
Wrong by design
Whether it's the name of our band or a skateboard trick or an outdated term for surgery
I guess words are just words and the meaning's up to me
And I don't skate anymore
