about

I did it for Picklefest.

If you're not voting today, then what are you doing?

I have an album coming out soon.

lyrics

I fell in love with Texas, with Illinois
With somewhere else that became too annoyed
To say that maybe it's New York, somewhere out east
Maybe just a train ride from my city's fake beach

So where are the drums and the pretty sounds
That say 'I wish that you were still around'
The fixed up vocals, the low down bass
To distract from my words and that I'm in a bad place

I spent a year trying not to waste
All the words in my head on your perfect face
I did pretty well when I stopped writing
When my brain and my heart stopped (swear word) fighting

And oh (swear word) I hate that I'm mean
Every single time your name pops up on my screen
I'd drink bleach just to be your friend
To go back to your house so we can pretend

So we can pretend that everything is ok
To make the bad memories go away
I'll tell you 'it's alright, I know I was wrong'
And I wish I never had to write this song
