Boys Club 06:20
Some suffer latent tension, some awkward conversation about the things they left you out of There's nothing here for you It's not a marathon; it's a sprint to see who's legacy and who can't get a bid Old boys' club So sad to say you're just not our type, alright? Get out and study finance, go study business somewhere else But don't go too far - come back and work on LaSalle Street All's quiet on the lake front; in silence question who's a poser and whose luck hit it big Seems so much better in my head to think of what could have been instead Another high school daydream laid to rest Never to wake again Old boys' club Don't even try, you're just not our type, alright? Some suffer best intentions, some never meet their expectations No waiting call, no invite, you're stuck on the outside, look in Are you not having fun? Aren't you amused? Why don't you sit down and tell what's wrong with you? Seems so much better in my head to think of what could have been instead Another high school daydream laid to rest Never to

Everybody's in love but me Open your fortress blue to fields of green Portraits of canyons wide as someone's dreams Everybody's in love but me I thought I might try and open my heart to someone new For the first time since winter of '15 Feel someone else's fingers Intertwined within mine But there's nobody else around Everybody's in love but me Take a walk around the block and see Never will ever come to be Everybody's in love but me I'll use the same chords over again 'cause I want to And whitewash all these fault lines, it's by virtue Don't want to see you in my mind's eye, how dare you Don't want to hear you in my friend's mouth, why would you I thought I might try and get back up just one more time But this bird's got a fear of heights from too many near-death flights So I won't fight and I won't hide It might just kill me this next time

"Too bad, so sad" describe so many people from my youth And all the people I look up to for guidance or truth Who made it or won't Nobody no one knows So irreverent and so alone What has the sad world done to you? Leave what's dead in letters read Who's heard what and who's hurt who? Who wrote my memoir and left it on repeat in your room? That's why you don't love me like I do And you can't see me like I see you, clear and through Letter true What has the sad world done to you? So sad to say it's done me too You broke your bones on bruised skin Passed down from stranger to next of kin Show me those x-rays and I'll show you mine And trade you bled heart for broke spine Too bad, so sad
