I wish I coulda balled in the pandy
I only sold ‘cause I need the money
I miss my West Coast offense and my strong D
Cost of living got the best of me
Never been much for saving up
Really hope that guy sells me my PlayStation back
I’ll sell some other shit and I’ll get paid
I’m gonna get back into vidja games
I really hope that guy sells me my PlayStation back
Tell him he should get the newer one
And it’s the dumbest thing I ever done
Get the cash and meet him in the lobby
Bring it home
Hook it up to the TV
I keep calling
He won’t answer me
I died of consumption in the final scene
Never been much for saving up
Really hope that guy sells me my PlayStation back
I’ll sell some other shit and I’ll get paid
I’m gonna get back into vidja games
I really hope that guy sells me my PlayStation back
Tell him he should get the newer one
And it’s the dumbest thing I ever done
What can I do
I’ve got nowhere to escape to
It’s all too true
What can I do
Really hope that guy sells me my PlayStation back
I’ll sell some other shit and I’ll get paid
I’m gonna get back into vidja games
I really hope that guy sells me my PlayStation back
Tell him he should get the newer one
And it’s the dumbest thing I ever done
I don’t wanna go outside and play
Maybe I don’t need it anyway

Farside Bathroom

Taking a break in the Farside bathroom
I won’t be long
I just need a second to
Take a breath and
Send some emails
It’s not weird
You know how it feels
Having a break in the Farside bathroom
Don’t take it wrong
It’s got nothing to do with you
I’d like a minute to myself
Some alone time
Read the news and reset my mind
The walls are covered in old comic books
I send the same text every time I’m locked in:
An ad for John Elway’s Quarterback
To my Broncos friend named Jan
I’m taking a break
Taking a break
Taking a break in the Farside bathroom
Taking a break
Taking a break
Taking a break
Taking a break in the Farside bathroom
A spacious 1er where nothing’s gonna happen
Look in the mirror
Maybe fix my hair
It’s too late
I probably don’t care
It feels good to have an escape plan
When the whole bar’s turned up to 10
A couple minutes and you bet I’m back on that stool
Pete’s got shots and there’s pinball
Kitty-corner to an Allen & Wright’s
Yeah, there’s a pretty good chance that I’ll end up there
Walking home from a successful night
Hoping I don’t have a hangover
I’m taking a break
Taking a break
Taking a break in the Farside bathroom
Taking a break
Taking a break
Taking a break in the Farside bathroom
Taking a break
Taking a break
Taking a break in the Farside bathroom
Taking a break
Taking a break
Taking a break in the Farside bathroom

Read Receipts
02:41

I can see the start of that message
I’m not ready to deal with it yet
I’m curious but I won’t check it
Read receipts
I can see how you started that message
I really wish you didn’t send it
I think I know how it ends but
Read receipts
I think I wanna get out of this place
I think I gotta get out of this place
Those little dots
They make me nervous
You’re searching for the perfect words
Those little dots
They make me nervous
I hate that that’s how my brain works
You’ll just see that I haven’t read it
Wonder if I ever check it
Text again
Ask something different
Read receipts
I think I wanna get out of this place
I think I gotta get out of this place
Those little dots
They make me nervous
You’re searching for the perfect words
Those little dots
They make me nervous
I hate that that’s how my brain works
You’ll wonder if maybe I just missed it
I used to get back pretty quick
Why do you need to know my business
I do what I want whenever I see fit
It may go against everything you think you know
But the best way to talk is on the telephone
Those little dots
They make me nervous
You’re searching for those perfect words
Those little dots
They make me nervous
I hate that that’s how my brain works
Those little dots
They make me nervous
I hate that that’s how my brain works
Those little dots
They make me nervous
I hate that that’s how my brain works
Those little dots
They make me nervous
You’re searching for those perfect words

Hot Tub or Bust
02:12
|

Wake up
6 AM
Whole day in the van
One lies down across the whole backseat
And we only see him when it’s time to eat
Another city, another town
Another chance to get off the ground
Hot tub, two beds
Beers in the fridge
We booked for two
Find a back door
They can’t find out we got 3 more
And that’s just the best it gets
Dress back up in the same clothes
Ryan looks up where to go
Egg McMuffins, Trader Joe’s
Peanut butter pretzels for the road
Even after an all-day drive
We’ll still drink in our van all night
Hot tub, two beds
Beers in the fridge
Take a shower or fucking don’t
We leave at 8 with or without
And that’s just the best it gets
That’s just the best it gets
Hot tub, two beds
Beers in the fridge
Hot tub, two beds
Beers in the fridge
Even after an all-day drive
We’ll still drink in our van all night
And that’s just the best it gets

Trooper Cover Band

I don’t wanna go out to that bar
I just wanna stay home and lick my scars
I wouldn’t be much fun anyway
Don’t give my tickets to that guy I hate
OK, fine
Give ‘em back to me
Now, I’m not ready to get off the floor
I think I need just a few minutes more
Don’t know how I got to this place
But these tiles feel cool on my face
Who let me out anyway
Shoulda just left me in my cage
Now, I’m not ready to get off the floor
I think I need just a few minutes more
Don’t know how I got to this place
But these tiles feel cool on my face
Who let me out anyway
Shoulda just left me in my cage
Is that Trooper or a Trooper cover band
If we leave now
Grab me a bag for the cab
I’m not ready to get off the floor
I think I’d like just a few minutes more
I’m sorry
I’m sure I’ll thank you in the morning
I’m sorry
I’m sure I’ll thank you in the morning
I said I’m sorry
I know I’ll thank you in the morning
I’m sorry

After a day in lockdown and a failed coup
I finally get to go home
God love you
After a day in lockdown and a failed coup
I finally get to go home
God love you
After a day in lockdown and a failed coup
I finally get to go home
God love you
After a day in lockdown and a failed coup
I finally get to go home
After a day in lockdown and a failed coup

After a day in lockdown and a failed coup

Learning To Share
03:26

I shut the window tight
Damn cold winter night
She said she couldn’t sleep without fresh air
My guitars might crack
And it’ll freeze all the plants
I know I couldn’t live without her here
I can be a mess
I guess I’ll swallow my stress
Communication is rarely clear
But I’m full-time now
Always in the house
Gonna try to shift it down a gear
It’s been a pretty weird year
At least we finally figured out how to share
Now we’re closer than before
Won’t have these dumb fights anymore
Now we’re stronger than we were
So we can keep on living
Now we’re closer than before
Won’t have these dumb fights anymore
Now we’re stronger than we were
So we can keep on living
Together
I been home the whole year
I kinda like it here
Maybe this is who I really am
It’s nice to just hole up
Try not to self-destruct
I used to get pretty close to it
It’s been a really weird year
I try not to show when I’m scared
Now we’re closer than before
Won’t have these dumb fights anymore
Now we’re stronger than we were
So we can keep on living
What a weird year
What a weird year
What a weird year
You can say that again
So now we’re closer than before
Won’t have these dumb fights anymore
And now we’re stronger than we were
So we can keep on living
Yeah, we’re closer than before
Won’t have these dumb fights anymore
And now we’re stronger than we were
So we can keep on living
Together
Together
Together
Together

Trespasser on the Tracks
03:13

There’s trouble on the tracks
No idea where I’m at
I can’t even text you back
We got a major delay
I’ll probably be a little late
It’s been a long time since I’ve been out
Should I walk along Queen
There’s stuff that I haven’t seen
They’re gonna build a brand new town
I guess I better reroute
And take Bathurst south
Instead of praying on an eastbound train
On my second listen through Sam’s Town
Hoping you and I will still work out
There’s trouble on the tracks
No idea where I’m at
I can’t even text you back
There’s trouble on the tracks
No time for backup plans
I’m always late
I am again
The whole system’s at a halt
You don’t care
It’s all my fault
Keele to Broadview’s a major stretch
I hope you find what you’re looking for
A warm spot where you can catch your breath
Hope you’re good
Wish you the best
Trespasser on the tracks
There’s probably more to it than that
I just hope you make it back
Trouble on the tracks
No idea where I’m at
I can’t even text you back
There’s trouble on the tracks
No time for backup plans
I’m always late
I am again
The whole system’s at a halt
You don’t care
It’s all my fault
You know I’m thinking about you
I got stuck
Hope we can write this one off to bad luck
I left early and now I’m late
You know I’m thinking about you but I’m trapped
There’s no service and my battery’s tapped
I left early and now I’m late

Goodnights
02:40

Why don’t you stay home
Why don’t you stay home
Why don’t you stay home
If you know there’s gonna be a fight
Why don’t you stay home
Why don’t you stay home
Why don’t you stay home
If you know there’s gonna be a fight
And now you’re crying beneath that Premo sign
Nobody looks good when the bar turns on the lights
Why don’t you stay home
Why don’t you stay home
Why don’t you stay home
If you know there’s gonna be a fight
‘Cause these good nights
Always end with stupid fights
These guys aren’t your type
Copenhagen and Coors Lite
Oh yeah, these perfect nights
They’re not the kind you wanna live twice
You barely get out alive
I know you don’t want my advice
But why don’t you stay home
Why don’t you stay home
Why don’t you stay home
If you know there’s gonna be a fight
Why don’t you stay home
Why don’t you stay home
Why don’t you stay home
If you know there’s gonna be a fight
Why don’t you stay home
Why don’t you stay home
Why don’t you stay home
If you know there’s gonna be a fight
And now you’re crying beneath that Premo sign
Nobody looks good when the bar turns on the lights
And you know there’s gonna be a fight

The night John Buck hit three home runs
We were racing across the city
The car’s radio was blasting out
The home team commentary
It was a snowy night
Or at least cold
Maybe raining
The roads were slippery
And we made it there just in time
To see the team celebrate their victory
From the living room
Down to the car
To the living room at the hospice
We watched there earlier
But now it’s late
We hoped TV would still be an option
The nurse let us in and told us that the time was coming close
And we can’t stop you from dying
So we’ll just stop you from dying alone
Go Blue Jays
Go Blue Jays
When I feel weird at parties
I pretend that I’m you
‘Cause you were never weird at parties
You talked to everybody in the room
And I know that the age gap makes this statement seem far-fetched
But honestly
Ties aside
You were always my best friend
And so we watched a little baseball
We knew you’d want us to
It’s not every day we get three home runs
Especially by the same dude
Go Blue Jays
Go Blue Jays
Go Blue Jays
Go Blue Jays
