lyrics

My friends are all trying to tell me I'm doing it wrong
But there are rules in place for this particular situation
So you don't have to worry about me. Yeah, I'll be fine
I've got one month to cartwheel, backflip, nosedive
Headfirst into this summer...
...But it's going to be such a bummer after that.

Waking up in my best friend's girlfriend's shirt
in the middle of his kitchen floor
At 8:00 AM on a Sunday cause my body
won't let me sleep anymore
So I think about last night - All the fun we had
When I traded my problems for a bottle of Jack
This was never a part of the plan...
...But I'm gonna live it up while I can

Cause I get a month to drown my problems
I get a month to live close to the chest
Drinking six dollar bottle of whiskey
While I'm scaring you all half to death

I get a month to go get shit-faced
At the bar where her friends hang out
I get four whole weeks to escape this life
Then it all comes crashing down around me

I've been chatting up all my ex-girlfriends
Hoping they can tell me where I went wrong
And I've been telling everyone her secrets
But the list goes on and on and on
And I've been digging up her past so she can bury me in it
I've been writing her a song but she is never gonna hear it
At least not until September...
...So in case you don't remember...

I get a month to lay on the concrete
Outside her favorite restaurant
Where I will laugh and cry at the same time
Until I find some new place to haunt
I get a month to watch her panic
Whenever I walk in the room
I get a month to hope she's still the girl I knew
Even though I know that that's not true...

So I tried a new direction
Psychiatric medication
Something to counteract this curse
But, Oh God, it makes it so much worse
It just makes me feel it all so clearly
Every fear and doubt inside me
This awareness - Paralyzing
Every dismal new horizon...

Then you took me down to the water
Like a whisper from my father
Wash these hands, brush off my shoulders
Bury all the things I told her

You pushed it all out of my head
And left a melody instead
The melting stress, the wind's caress
Then you leaned in and said

"You get a month of good intentions
You get a month of cries for help
You get a month of understand
Then you get sent straight back to Hell

You get a month to go get shit-faced
At the bar where her friends hang out
You get four whole weeks to escape this life
Then it all comes crashing down around you."
