about

We didn't mean to write a Jimmy Eat World song, then we tried to go for a Jimmy Eat World vibe, and then we landed somewhere else entirely anyway.

lyrics

Six weeks ago, I was lying on the floor
With a bottle in my hand, staring at the door
Waiting for a knock but I wasn’t anymore
When you came tonight

Now they picked me up, they brought me down
Dried me out so i wouldn’t drown
So while you’re staring in the face of doubt
Keep your distance and wait it out

Why would you come and run to me
Deep in the depths of misery?
Anyone could feel sympathy
I’m the only one who can’t

Pick any other doorstep
In any other town
If you come inside tonight
We’re gonna tear this life down
We’re gonna burn it right down

Pick any other evening
And any other boy
I’m a razor sharp dagger
Not a children’s toy
I will speak in anger
And I will destroy this love

Six weeks from now, I’ll be doing just fine
The doctor prescribed whiskey and time
But tonight I would murder your memory
and I can’t commit that crime

So why would you come and run to me
Deep in the depths of misery?
Anyone could feel sympathy
I’m the only one who can’t

Pick any other doorstep
In any other town
If you come inside tonight
We’re gonna tear this life down
We’re gonna burn it right down

Pick any other evening
And any other boy
I’m a razor sharp dagger
Not a children’s toy
I will speak in anger
And I will destroy this love

Pick any other doorstep
In any other town
If you come inside tonight
We’re gonna tear this life down
We’re gonna burn it right down

Pick any other evening
And any other boy
I’m a razor sharp dagger
Not a children’s toy
I will speak in anger
And I will destroy this love

Pick any other doorstep
