Jackets in July

1, 2, 3, 4
Maybe I'm still an addict
Relaxation flips to panic mode
If I can't find anything to drink in The fridge

But I've quit snorting pills
And it's been a while since I've had To steal
Anything from anyone, even Walmart
And I don't huff duster out of cans

And I don't pass out anywhere I Land
And I don't break shit on my way Down
These days I go to bed
And I still get the spins

And my head still hurts
But at least there's nothing to Blame it on
But the booze

And it gets better
At least that's what they say
I'll take their word for it
Cause I still feel the same
As I did back then
But everything else is changing

Maybe I'm still in a case
Certifiably insane
But all I wanna do is wear short Sleeves

Without the dirty glances
Everyone deserves another chance
Even if they carve themselves like A turkey
But I don't wear jackets in July

And I learned it's a stupid thing to Lie about
Cause everybody already knows
So now I hide it in plain sight
With fake confidence and Awkward smiles
Every time I meet someone new

But it gets better
At least that's what they say
I'll take their word for it

Cause I still feel the same
As I did back then
But everything else is changing

Progress is progress

But I'm still taking baby steps
I won't be running marathons Anytime soon
Maybe reality will never feel quite Real to me
But I'm learning how to navigate My way through

I don't wear jackets in July
And it's been a long time since I've Got high
Off anything stronger than weed
Sometimes I feel okay

And I've made some new friends Along the way
Who take me as I am and want Nothing more
They might not understand
But I can call them up

And we'll make plans, God damn
It's kinda nice not to be so alone
There's no point to turning yet
After all I've been through

And I'm not dead yet
So I guess I gotta play this whole thing out

It gets better
I know that's what they say

I'll take my word for it
Although you feel the same
Everything else will change
Everything else will change
