Lyrics
Nothing ever happens around here until it does
And you can't know every name they call out on your roll
But yeh maybe I knew him, maybe we had some words
And yeh maybe I knew him, but they were only tiny words
Why can't we go to the old pier anymore?
I just wanna smoke and talk
They boarded it up when that dumb fuck drowned
I heard he maybe swam from the shore…
When we cry, we are crying mostly for ourselves
Some weird kid dies you put him on a pedestal for all that guilt
But I ain't got pity for him, he's only striking out ahead
So leave some pity aside for all of us still left
Why can't we go to the old pier like we would?
Maybe meet some drunk girls
Get to the bower of our bliss
Cuz the night should know no concerns
Maybe don't tell your friends, that I said all this
Cuz true belief has that cost, you hide it from the world
As soon as you say the plan out loud you lost everything
There's only ever young and old, only ever us and them
We're gonna go to the old pier tomorrow
And break right through those boards
Bring your daddies pot I'll bring my sister's pipe
And maybe we can swim for the shore
