I'm not brave enough to sleep,
so I'll take what I can get.
I've been managing to find my courage in the liquor cabinet.
And I've favored my nostalgia,
over your stately sentiment.
Even since we gave up that perfect placement
where pain and pleasure met.
I know,
that's how it goes.
I'm too fucked up.
I guess I'll stay home.
Sit on my couch.
Stare at my phone.
And I'll open a beer, waiting for you to call (x2)
I tried to stop the sun
to let me moon fly free.
I tried to end the hostility
between the sky and the sea.
But it turns out all that love is,
Is just passion plucked from jealousy,
so I'll leave you to your friends,
and let god prepare a drink for me.
I know,
that's how it goes.
I could just be in love with the idea that you were mine
Or that we could stay up all night and feel fine
but that was then and this is now
I need a little time
alone.
I'm too fucked up.
I guess I'll stay home.
Sit on my couch.
Stare at my phone.
And I'll open a beer, waiting for you to call (x2)
Don't be sad.
You know I'm fine.
I'm not even mad at you
for wasting my time.
I guess I'm just in a rush
to wait in a line.

Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
