Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everybody's asleep, let's talk about him
Let's talk about high school, talk about death
Talk about the long ride home from the grave
How we were too fucked up on Thum's birthday
Seasonal bugs in a canvas tent
Seasonal friendships, I can see the road end
You're appealing to the parts that you know I hold dear
You've been the best five minutes of a shitty whole year
[PreChorus]
And I'm so glad we're here
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm with my best friend Dan now
Camping on the county line
Hand around a Miller Lite
Waiting for the sun to rise
Couple of hometown heroes
Fighting over politics
Sitting and remembering
Young men from different sides
And we're so alone
Most of the time
Most of the time, we don't have anyone
Where do we go, when we die?
I wouldn't mind right here
I wouldn't mind at all
[Verse 2]
Through the dying light of a flashlight lens
You tried to tell me how unfair it is
That I have what I have and you got what you got
Said I'd give it all back if I could, I cannot
Loon calls pierce through the violent sky
Think I stood right here back when Carlo died
Said I hated the way I made it all about me
And every day from back then is like a bad old dream
[PreChorus]
And I can't fall asleep
[Chorus]
But I'm with my best friend Dan now
Camping on the county line
Hand around a Miller Lite
Waiting for the sun to rise
Couple of hometown heroes
Fighting over politics
Sitting and remembering
Young men from different sides
And we're so alone
Most of the time
Most of the time, we don't have anyone
Where do we go, when we die?
I wouldn't mind right here
No, I wouldn't mind at all
[Bridge]
See the wasps
Hit the water
And drown
See the lightning
Light the world
And land on Orange County ground
Flip a rock
See the bugs
Sleepin' sound
Hey, that's us
You and I
Will be found
[PreChorus]
We ain't far from my house
[Chorus]
I'm with my best friend Dan now
Camping on the county line
Hand around a Miller Lite
Waiting for the sun to rise
Couple of hometown heroes
Fighting over politics
Sitting and remembering
Young men from different sides
And we're so alone
Most of the time
Most of the time, we don't have anyone
Where do we go, when we die?
I wouldn't mind right here
No, I wouldn't mind at all
[Outro]
I wouldn't mind
I wouldn't mind right here
No, I wouldn't mind at all
I wouldn't mind at all
[Outro]
Everybody's asleep, let's talk about it
Let's talk about high school and talk about death
Before the moment tries to disappear
Don't the sky look pretty up here?
