lyrics

So stoned and talking a lot last night
Dance around the room with just your t-shirt on
Lip-stick over cherry chapstick, tastes just like summer ending

Sing every word to your favorite song so loud your neighbors can sing along
While i'm drunk can we stop pretending tomorrow won't be like nothing happened .

I'm falling out, losing touch, on to something less familiar

Step into the morning sunlight, bloodshot eyes and yesterdays t-shirt on
Half drunk on your optimism, lip-stick stains everywhere she kissed ya.

Dead ass dreams over coke-a-cola, head out east where no one knows ya
LA sure beat the shit out of you, trying to make a living playing country tunes.

I'm falling out, losing touch, on to something less familiar
I'm falling out, losing touch, on to something less familiar
