The Baseball of Beers - Riley!

When I was just a boy, we'll call it 15 or so I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in my bones That girl who's next to me, she found herself bored to tears She realized that if she wanted conversation, she's out of luck for three more years When I moved away from home, 100 miles or so I knew a change had grown inside my awkwardly long limbs and bones That girl who's next to me, she's friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty But all she has to say is a meat head-themed monologue on why Brad ran away She said, "All I can hope for is for me to get better Because all I can take is no more I'll win him back again, we'll be lovers, best friends He won't need no other woman like he did way back when he was with me" He needed more than me I'm friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty But he needed more than me When I felt that I should leave, we'll call it midnight or so I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in her bones That girl who's next to me, she don't know her worth in this town Because her face starts to shine when that meat head behind me Is grinning as he's checking her out I said, "All I can hope for is for you to get better Because all I can take is no more I'll hide where I can, away from you and your friends Leaking tears over beers once again" Leaking tears over beers once again Leaking tears over beers once again

Though I seem cool, calm and collected Making my way to Hipster with Glasses Was a little more than just nerve wrackin' Kinda just counted on her to turn me into goo Praise whatever it ended with a smile 'Cause for a bit, a tad, a little while I expected you two to save the day with sly remarks Like, "he's so cute" and "whatever you want's" Though the white jacket didn't fit The friends I came with did perfectly Snugged right to my body Like sad movies and late night drinks Could've guessed by the end of the hour There was more than just a little smile on my face Covered in custard and cookies and cream, pissed off, I had to leave But all has to end You got a smile that could light this town, and we might need it 'Cause it gets dark around here, real dark around here Most of my old friends, I can only stand for the weekend But that doesn't apply here, doesn't apply here The day started with a bloody drip And a taste on my lips that was a lot less than desired Awkward moments to the side Not all expiring fast A tank top that didn't cover a thing And a zipped down hoodie, zipped to the bottom Had us laughing every time No matter how many chest hairs there were in sight You got a smile that could light this town and we might need it 'Cause it gets dark around here, real dark around here Most of my old friends I can only stand for the weekend But that doesn't apply here, doesn't apply here

Well the lipstick on this coffee cup It ain't your shade of red And the perfume on the pillow on your side of the bed Ain't the kind you used to wear But you said you don't love me And she said she don't care She likes the sad songs that play all night long She never turns them off, just signs along She likes the big screen and the whole team And wants seconds of my chicken and my baked beans It might not be love like our love was But girl that's alright 'Cause she don't count the beers I drink at night She don't make me wanna stay in bed when Monday rolls around And she don't have that touch that sends me ten feet off the ground Like you used to (like you used to) Yeah, believe me man, she's something But baby she ain't you She likes the sad songs that play all night long She never turns them off, just signs along She likes the big screen and the whole team And wants seconds of my chicken and my baked beans It might not be love like our love was But girl that's alright, yeah 'Cause she don't count the beers I drink at night, woah She's all that I never though I'd find Yeah, but she can't get you off my mind She likes the sad songs that play all night long She never turns them off, just signs along She likes the big screen and the whole team And wants seconds of my chicken and my baked beans It might not be love like our love was But girl that's alright, yeah 'Cause she don't count the beers I drink at night Yeah, she don't count the beers I drink at night Oh

Summer 2016 You said you were headed up north But you couldn't head out without me And I don't really mind That you break down all the time Because when it comes down to it I only cared that you were mine Shelby, I loved those late night drives So tell me that you'll never leave me, baby No, you'll never die Flashback to when we stole that car jack We lifted you up And we fixed you up to keep you intact Because you were tired And so were we Yeah, you were tired And so were we Yeah, you were tired And so were we Yeah, you were tired And so were we Shelby, I loved those late night drives So tell me that you'll never leave me, baby No, you'll never die

We bought our furniture at Goodwill Put a mattress on the floor Strung up lights and they were bright Until they noticed that you don't live here anymore You claimed this would be good for us But now I think that I drink too much And I always find myself falling asleep by the front door Now I'm grinding my teeth when I try to sleep Got a Polaroid under my pillow of us dancing I wanna know if you're happy Because I'm not happy And you can't fix me Because I'm not happy Or worth fixing

I smoked my first cigarette For the first time in eight months Cause you were smoking cigarettes Outside that bar on 6th street that you love And I needed it Because school stresses me out And all I wanna do is sit in my room And watch TV all afternoon I wish I had the guts to sing your name But I can't, no I can't Because I am afraid that that would make it real I should've never asked about your past Oh well, whatever I guess if that's what you really want then I'll just go home instead And I'll keep putting cigarettes out on my hands And it's stupid to you But at least it's cool to my friends At least it's cool to my friends At least I'm cool to my friends

I've replaced you with endless glasses of wine Red and dry just like my eyes Trying to find you Find you I've been listening to Morrissey lately Watching movies strictly from the '80s You're all I'll ever be about There is a light, I pray to god you don't turn it out Turn it out Well I don't know what you need But I know it's not me And honestly you make me scared to fall asleep Cause I've been having dreams where you still love me But I wake up feeling lonely I've been listening to Morrissey lately Watching movies strictly from the '80s You're all I'll ever be about There is a light, I pray to god you don't turn it out Turn it out You, I only think about you in the past tense You, the brightest stars could never fathom your radiance You, I only think about you in the past tense You, The brightest stars could never fathom you radiance I've been listening to Morrissey lately Watching movies strictly from the '80s You're all I'll ever be about You're all I'll ever be about I've been listening to Morrissey lately Watching movies strictly from the '80s You're all I'll ever be about There is a light, I pray to god you don't turn it Out

I have a tattoo that sorta reminds me of you A tattoo that sorta reminds me of you Sorta reminds me of you You're in my head And literally under my skin I'm debating a cover up or just keeping it hidden So far I've kept it hidden Now I hate needles and I hate thread And I hate ink and I hate all my old friends And I still lie when people ask me why I got it I have a tattoo that sorta reminds me of you A tattoo that sorta reminds me of you Sorta reminds me of you I have a tattoo that sorta reminds me of you A tattoo that sorta reminds me of you Sorta reminds me of you I still say that You weren't that bad And then I can express the inexpressible I'll tell the whole world that you're unforgettable I have a tattoo that sorta reminds me of you A tattoo that sorta reminds me of you Sorta reminds me of you I have a tattoo that sorta reminds me of you A tattoo that sorta reminds me of you I have a tattoo that sorta reminds me of you A tattoo that sorta reminds me of you Sorta reminds me of you (I don't know if I did that right) I have a tattoo that sorta reminds me of you A tattoo that sorta reminds me of you Sorta reminds me of you I have a tattoo that sorta reminds me of you A tattoo that sorta reminds me of you Sorta reminds me of you
