Day I Die

Lyrics

I don't need you, I don't need you
 Besides, I barely ever see you anymore
 And when I do, it feels you're only halfway there
 Young mothers love me, even ghosts of girlfriends call from Cleveland
 They will meet me anytime and anywhere
 The day I die, the day I die
 Where will we be?
 The day I die, the day I die
 Where will we be?
 ♪
 Don't do this, I don't do this to you
 Don't expect me to enjoy it
 'Cause I really don't have the courage
 Not to turn the volume up inside my ears
 For years, I used to put my head inside the speakers
 In the hallway when you get too high and talk forever
 The day I die, the day I die
 Where will we be?
 The day I die, the day I die
 Where will we be?
 The day I die, the day I die
 Where will we be?
 The day I die, the day I die
 Where will we be?
 ♪
 I get a little punchy with the vodka, just like my great uncle Valentine Jester did
 When he had to deal with those people like you, who made no goddamn common sense
 I'd rather walk all the way home right now than to spend one more second in this place
 I'm exactly like you, Valentine, just come outside and leave with me
 ♪
 Let's just get high enough to see our problems
 Let's just get high enough to see our fathers' houses
 The day I die, the day I die
 Where will we be?
 The day I die, the day I die
 Where will we be?
 The day I die, the day I die
 Where will we be?
 The day I die, the day I die
 Where will we be?
