lyrics

Verse 1

She looks at me she seems to through
A feeling that I'd never know
I thought that this was but that was yesterday
The summer holds up so much hope
A little booze, a little dope
I thought that this was fun until I heard her say

"You know that this was never right
And I don't want to start a fight"
I guess it's all the same as seasons one to four

Chorus

Good luck is gonna shake now
Stand by and prepare for break down
No one can do this for me
Bad nights and malicious stories

And so I'll take a break now
I'll work hard to only play foul
But now I know that it's all gone

Verse 2

You never gave a second thought
You won't allow me to retort
My stomach's sick the butterflies a flying out

You know that I will never find
Another girl to share my mind
I guess it's all the same as sleeping on the floor
