Here I go
On the wings of yesterday
Where all the things that you once wanted
Are the things that I now crave
How I wish it wasn’t true
I was not thinking of you
I was believing that you’d never leave
No matter what I’d do
If we could just go back in time
To last April or last May
When you asked if there’s a chance
That I might ever change my ways
But I was young and I was dumb
I was urging you to go
Now I could die just by rereading
All the words that I once wrote
So you should
Really want to do your worse
To me
You should
Really want to do your worse
To me
You should
Really want to do your worse
To me
And if you really want to do your worse
To me
You just look on up
And let this city finish me
This city has held on to
Everything
(between you and me)
Everywhere that I go
We have been
Everywhere that you are now
I no longer am
There’s this storm front coming in
And the air is getting cold
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go back
To Puerto Rico
Or Duluth
In the Fall
Without thinking about
How I just fed you to the wolves that I
Once warned you about
So you should
Really want to do your worse
To me
You should
Really want to do your worse
To me
You should
Really want to do your worse
To me
And if you really want to do your worse
To me
You just look on up
And let this city finish me
This city has held on to
Everything
(between you and me)
Everywhere that I go
We have been
Everywhere that you are now
I no longer am
I’m sinking free
I’m sinking free
I’m sinking
I’m sinking
Let this city finish me
This city has held on to
Everything
(between you and me)
Everywhere that I go
We have been
Everywhere that you are now
I no longer am
(I’m sinking)
Let this city finish me
This city has held on to
Everything
(between you and me)
Everywhere that I go
We have been
Everywhere that you are now
I no longer am
(I’m sinking)
You know
I wish it wasn’t true
But I was not thinking of you
No, I was believing that you’d never leave
No matter what I’d do
But I was young
And I was dumb
Now I’m hanging by a thread
And I could die just by repeating all the words that I once said

We first met in the pilot
Before the plot got fucked
Sitting in that bar
We were drinking to get drunk
Take me somewhere
I was begging you
If I’d spoke sooner
Maybe I’d be with you
But I can’t change the future
I already wrote the past
I’m so sick of outliving
Everyone else in this cast
As time rolls on around me
I can’t make up my mind
So, I stay here in this sitcom
You can syndicate my life
Should’ve run off with the money
At the end of last season
Soon this series finale
Will just be an old rerun
Tell me something
I’m begging you
Say you’ll hold on
And I’ll rerun with you
But I can’t change the future
I already wrote the past
I’m so sick of outliving
Everyone else in this cast
As time rolls on around me
I can’t make up my mind
So, I stay here in this sitcom
You can syndicate my life
I can’t change the future
I already wrote the past
I’m so sick of outliving
Everyone else in this cast
As time rolls on around me
I’m not going to change my mind
I’ll stay here in this sitcom with you
Until the end of time

Sometimes I reach to call you up
When I hear new bands
Cause I know that you would listen
Like when you were here
Sometimes I think that you’d get mad
When I use your name
To get the set over
Hell, maybe I’d feel the same
Still, I ain’t got
No one else
Who feels the hair like I do
Your student loans
For a bottle of Karkov
Tesla and Crue on the juke
All afternoon
For the rest of my days
These rail vodka shots are for you
It ain’t so funny
How life can change
From the road
To the bar
To the grave
We got your spot stage right
Cause you’re one of the boys
And that Ian’t ever gonna change
The last time I saw you
You came in a dream
And you told me I’d be next
Well pal,
I picked up some more bad habits
Since that December
When you left
Still, I ain’t got
No one else
Who feels the hair like I do
Your student loans
For a bottle of Karkov
Tesla and Crue on the juke
All afternoon
For the rest of our days
These rail vodka shots are for you
And all of the times we share
All of the drinks
All of the hair
God damn these empty bottles
I miss you in a way that makes me talk to the sky
On these old jukebox nights of yours and mine
Still, I ain’t got
No one else
Who feels the hair like I do
Your student loans
For a bottle of Karkov
Skid Row on the juke
All afternoon
For the rest of our days
These rail vodka shots are for you
Sometimes I reach to hand you a drink
When I hear your band
Cause I know that you’d still be drinking this shit if
If you were still here
