lyrics

Good luck getting out of this one, baby
Twenty-one, chewing on ice in front of me
Saw you while I was lost at sea
Salt beginning
You were there kissing my mouth on Sunday
Monday rolled my tongue up like a rug
You had to leave, but it’s you I’ve seen in a thousand dreams

I was there falling on concrete thinking,
“Maybe I chill you to the bone like winter wind.
If this was my last snow, I’d do my time.
If you’re the last face that I see, well, that's fine.”

Were you sitting down when you realized
I’m not gonna be the boy for you?
It's alright!
Some people never have to choose
I’ll put the bottle down, too
But I’m not gonna be the boy for you

Thin hair, liquor stare, don’t you beg me
If you like banging up your knees then go ahead
The bets are off
You need to fall
You’re in school for a little while longer
I’ll be around when the world starts feeling small
You’ve got no plan
I see the end
It’s not the worst idea to feel it coming on

Were you sitting down when you realized
I’m not gonna be the boy for you?
It's alright!
Some people never have to choose
I’ll put the bottle down, too
But I’m not gonna be the boy for you

I had butterflies in my belly
Won’t tell the truth but you can’t lie
Isn’t it silly?
What if you never have to choose?
I’ll put the bottle down, too
But I’m not gonna be the boy for you
