lyrics

we can’t go back to driving just for the sake of it, now, we’ve always got some place to go. a simple course correction, we didn’t pay attention to which direction to go.

it was just another mistake we made that somehow came and paved the way for something new entirely. at least we know someday we’ll say, “we’re rolling over in our graves,” and that’s enough for me.

you bought another dress and convinced all your friends that you were ready for this. but it’s just a play on words, as if they never heard you say, “I’m gonna miss chris this christmas”

you’re out for blood in the form of love and tonight you feast.
you’ve got a name i wouldn’t dare say in front of children or priests,
‘cuz they’ve got a god-awful nickname for you, so fake that it sticks and suits you.

at least we know someday we’ll say, “we’re rolling over in our graves,” and that’s enough for me. when no one comes to pay respects, what the hell did you expect?

we’ll just roll, roll constantly

‘cuz they’ve got a god-awful nickname for you
