Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can't recall the last time that we talked

About anything but lookin' out for cops

We got cigarette burns on the same side of our hands

But we ain't friends, we're just morons who broke skin in the same spot

But I've never seen you take a turn that wide

And I'm high enough to still care if I die

So I tried to read the thoughts that you worked overtime to stop

You said fuck off, and I said nothing for a while

[PreChorus]

You know I think about you all the time

And my deep misunderstanding of your life

And how bad it must have been for you back then

And how hard it was to keep it all inside

[Chorus]

I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich

I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit

Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin

And not your soul, and what he might do with it

[Verse 2]

You inched yourself across the great divide

While we drove aimlessly along the Twin State line

I heard nothin' but the bass in every ballad that you'd play

While you swore to God the singer read your mind

[Verse 3]

But the world is scared of hesitatin' things

Yeah, they only shoot the birds who cannot sing

And I'm finally aware of how shitty and unfair

It was to stare ahead like everything was fine

[PreChorus]

You know I think about you all the time

And my deep misunderstanding of your life

And how bad it must have been for you back then

And how hard it was to keep it all inside

[Chorus]

I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich

I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit

Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin

And not your soul, and what he might do with it

[Bridge]

Rage in small ways

Did you wish that I could know?

You'd fade to some place

I wasn't brave enough to go

[Chorus]

I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich

I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit

Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin

And not your soul, and what he might do with it

[Bridge]

Ah, oh

Ah, oh

[Outro]

I hope you threw a brick right into that stained glass

I hope you're with someone who isn't scared to ask

I hope that you're not losing sleep about what's next

Or about your soul, and what he might do with it
