lyrics

Pong winner and there’s nowhere to be
Gum chewer like it’s 2003
And I’m back on the bench
With my back to the field
And the coach couldn’t care if I stay or leave
I get up to the fence when see your smile
Warm sun on the trench a miracle mile
With a bungled excuse
“Sorry I spaced on your text”
Well I saw it
I’m just a bit of a mess

For all you tried to tell me
I never listened
All of the knots in the oak by the river
Wouldn’t admit that they’d ever been twisted
For every step I take is a bank shot
I’ll hit the wall before I get to the net
Yeah every nesting place is a screenshot
That I can miss when I’m on to the next

Pong winner and there’s nowhere to be
French kisser like it’s 1983
And the hands running down stroke the spine
I’ll find something to worry about
My time to shine
I tried the stocks but the IPO is dead
A hammock in the woods an IPA instead
Yeah my anarchist thoughts will make me rich
I’ll be trickling down
But just on the surface

For all you tried to tell me
I never listened
All of the knots in the oak by the river
Wouldn’t admit that they’d ever been twisted
Yeah every step I take is a bank shot
I’ll hit the wall before I get to the net
Yeah every nesting place is a screenshot
That I can miss when I’m on to the next

Open door in thunderstorm
Enroll in new semesters just to pass the time
When all you know’s a superstore
You feign surprise
Desensitize to win it

For all you tried to tell me
I never listened
All of the knots in the oak by the river
Wouldn’t admit that they’d ever been twisted
For every step I take is a bank shot
I’ll hit the wall before I get to the net
Yeah every nesting place is a screenshot
That I can miss when I’m on to the next
Yeah every step I take is a bank shot
I’ll hit it all before I start making net
Yeah every nesting place is a screenshot
That I can miss when I’m on to the next
