lyrics

The highlight of my year was bumping into you
In a McDonald’s car park

Three summers on you knew my hair in all its length
Though I can’t say I knew yours

I blushed my way through learning where we both were now
You’d gone far further than me

And when we said goodbye I found myself smiling
Some highlight and some year

What have I got to live for
What have I got to show
Ecological collapse
Regret for lost childhood
Right wing feelings in the air
Microscopic entropy

What have I got to live for
What have I got to show
Five derivative full lengths
Folders full of grotty draws
Deprecation and boasting
Horrible intrusive thoughts

Truly something’s gone wrong
Truly synapses are glitching
Truly I don’t know how to stop it
Do you
Do you
Do you?

We’ll see what summers still to come will bring for me
Probably less and less

I hope my brain and social life will get better
Though knowing me not likely

So if you’re hearing this reach out give me a call
Big emphasis on the if

And if you’re in the future when I’m dead and gone
just remember I wanted a life.
