lyrics

if you ever come around around again
be sure to remember exactly where we stand
and if you want to ask me how i've been
be sure to pay attention to my sarcastic grin

don't dare act like you mean nothing to me
because there hasn't been a single day
that skipped over one second of misery

it's been hazy and my hair has gotten long
i still get lazy every summer and every song
is somehow connected to you
but i manage to disconnect somehow
from the very thing that brings me
to where i find myself now

it wasn't all so terrible, it was just bad timing
when you had your brain full
of a substance that was more important
of a substance that cost you your dream
it's substantially certain that i couldn't cannot
would not blow off all your steam

if you never came around again
be sure to remember exactly where
we were left standing and don't dare act like
you meant nothing to me
because there hasn't been a single day
without a wish it could have turned out differently
