Trying to write about not writing about love. First one I wrote for this album, back on April 12 of this year.
lyrics
I ended up at a show and heard another awful love song playing. I had nowhere to go, but I knew I'd heard all I could take. I told the singer, "Hey, your lyrics are trash!"
Everyone: (gasp)
You: (laugh)
Now, I know what they say - it happens everyday
Now I know what they mean because it's happening to me.
I was ready to call it off
I was ready for death by cop
I was running down the clock until I ran into you.
Hey, but what do I know? Is there something great about this place?
Maybe I ain't alone. Maybe you hate everything I hate.
So let's get outta here before they attack.
You burn,
I'll slash.
You know what they say - it can happen any place.
Now you know that it's true (if it's happening to you).
Were you ready to call it a day?
Were you ready to dilapidate?
Were you running down the drain until you ran into me when I ran into you when you ran into me?
