lyrics

You probably think that all of this was for you
That every song’s about you
That every word is waiting for
A chance to cut you down

But I got all of that out
Took that mulch, spread it around
So I’ve got no songs about you now
...Except for this one.

I stopped playing all the old ones at my shows
I know that you don’t know
I know that you don’t care
And I couldn’t be happier

I found someone who understands
Takes me by the hand
Sees me for who I am
And I couldn’t be happier

...and that song about the car crash
I didn’t really mean that
I wrote it at the bottom
of a bottle of rosé

It took a while but I’m ok
I’m old enough to think straight
I’m old enough to look back on my life
And have no doubts

I heard you found your way to grad school
Got a job and found a good dude
One that really fits you
Seems like everything worked out

I said I’d never about you
But now I think I’d like to
Now I think I might do
Something dumb like that

I said I’d never write about you
But it’s never been about you...

“Who knows what’s good and what bad?”
