lyrics

Why did I meet you?
Or try to delete you?
I don't really have a reason.
I just hate this fucking season and everyone in it (by association).
It's something I cannot explain,
The neurons you woke in my brain are banging on the walls to get a glimpse of you.

And though the times are cold,
I don't want to spend all my life alone.
And though I feel scared,
It's not like I need to feel prepared,
To obey my master like an edgy youth group pastor.
I'm just so happy life gets faster.

Oh, I can see the shimmer in your eye,
Looking out over the Minnesota sky,
And I feel warm here.
God, if you really mean to lead me to this grave,
Then I'm begging you to please just let me save,
On a '90s memory card.

And though the times are tough,
I don't think I want to cuddle my stuff.
Find joy in what I've got,
Fall in love in an Arby's parking lot.
And damn I feel happy,
I'm screaming someone stab me,
Or please reach out and grab me.
