The ins and outs
The hustling game, city struggles
It's humbling, fumbling
Scratching your name in the rubble
Meet me in the market
I'm at the laundromat
It's not even dark yet
So we could find some trouble, let's find some trouble
Learnin' to be free, kid of the 90s
You learn to stretch a laurier fast, it's important
dippin' is better than trippin'
The past is past, you get over it
Meet me in the market
I'm moochin' internet
Long as I make the rent
and have enough for flowers for my girl
The things that keep us afloat
Are dangerous to depend on
The things that keep us afloat
Will drown us all in the end
So I'm not gonna lose it
Learnin' to be free

I heard ophelia’s in Kathmandu
Living off savings a month or two
On an A320, cheek to the glass
Trying to lean back, keep going too fast
Why don’t you come down?
She’s writing from a meadow of tall, dry grass
Following a shepherd through the Himalayas
looking down on a sea of clouds
Why don’t you come down?
Sleep at dusk, travel at dawn
Sweep the steps, pack our bags and be gone
Still my bags were full of sand
When I got her letter I was in japan
I’d tried my hand and done my best
I emptied my checking on a ticket west
Why don’t you come down?
I'll see you in Nepal

lol here're the lyrics
Sunny Sunday
My new love lies resting
I'm no longer guessing what to do
The days grow long and we welcome the light
We forget about our futures
Last call Saturday night
'Cause always,
We're always down
Always down to see
'Cause someday
We could have our own apartment
And it'll be bright and white and open
It'll be fun
One day'll come along
When she'll be right by my side every morning and
In the crook of my arm every night
'Cause always,
We're always down
Always down to see
How good it could be

Let's stop
We're too drunk
It's best we were leaving
We'd stay with a reason
But no, let's stop
I'm wrong, yet I push on
With this hazy point I'm making
I'm inclined to be mistaken
Oh let's stop, we're too drunk
This'll never seem real
Stop this
Taking the piss
I can't tell when you're joking
But it tears me wide open
When you're making jabs, taking stabs
I'm calling a cab 'cause we're too drunk
Let's stop
Why can't you get on my level?
Do I look as disheveled as you?
Tonight's a drag, I can't find my bag
This'll never seem real
Where this started I forget
She flicks a cigarette
Waves for a taxi
She does it
so so so so so sassy I said
Let's stop
Let's put down the wine
We're running out of time
before this gets ugly
maybe we're just getting hungry
Let's stop
Because tomorrow morning
This'll never seem real
All those little jabs aren't how I feel
This'll never seem real

in between = G D G D (going into v3 it goes G D G D G A7)
The mangy dogs in our neighbourhood
they’ve been good
they come when I call, better than you would
since you’ve been AWOL all month
I can see from the street your lights are out
You’re not around for me
I’ve heard people say you’ve gone away
You couldn’t stay here
On my way to the airport, I pass your apartment
Maybe you’ll be there
what if it’s just me that’s bent?
What if I’m crazy?
What if you don’t care?
I swear I can see from the street your lights are out,
You’re not around for me
I’ve heard people say you’ve gone away,
You couldn’t stay here

Is it just your nature baby makes you act like this?
You showed signs in 99 and still you can’t resist
It’s been years now, wipe those tears
How can’t you see where you’d be with apologies?
I am sorry that it’s so hard for you
I hope that you can move on
But I can’t wait until that day
If you don’t change, my patience fades
you will find me gone
I know you’ve been hurt before
you make sure you stay broken
choice is yours to make it better
we all toast to hoping
you keep tabs on everybody, counting their advantage
being you must be a lot to manage
I’m sorry, it’s so hard for you
and I hope that you can move on
but I can’t wait until that day
if you don’t change, my patience fades
you will find me gone
before you know how sorry you are
you’ll call my name
oh what a shame, what a damn shame
