Overpriced

You'll say, "Hey," and I'll say it back

And we'll smile and side hug and awkwardly laugh

And I'll be a bit sadder than I was before

It's our same Saturday routine

A white flag waved on a busy street

And it'll work about as poorly as it did every other time

'Cause I've been decomposing

For six months and counting

While playing nice

My ego slowly rotting

Ten feet outside my body

It's a large price

For a week of almost but not quite

Yeah, you

I'd say you were pretty overpriced

'Cause someday I might steal your car

And drive to Mexico or just somewhere far

But I'll probably go to work like I do every other day

Making drinks all up in a line

And maybe dressing kinda sorta nice

And saying, "Hey, Bill! Coffee with room this time?"

But then I'll dream about September nights

While people talk and couples fight

'Til someone yells, "Hey, you punched in that order wrong"

'Cause I've been decomposing

For six months and counting

While playing nice

My ego slowly rotting

Ten feet outside my body

It's a large price

For a week of almost but not quite

Yeah, you

I'd say you were pretty overpriced

And I'm broke as it is

Turned out my pocket's twice

Begging for scraps, trying to get you off my mind

Sometimes I catch myself missing those awkward laughs (ah, ah, ah)

So Saturday comes (ah, ah)

And I'm right where I was last week (ah)

Hands in my heart, chest

Digging out spare change

Pop a quarter in your mouth

To hear, "Hey, how was your day?"

I'm tired

Of trying

But I'm still trying
