lyrics

I woke up to fumes of hot fresh Colombian in the afternoon.
And I was singing a tune of a song I wrote but never finished back in June.

Been walking around with the slouch of my back,
A crick in my neck, needed to get my eyes checked out a long time ago.
I look up at the sky, and I wonder why it took me so long to realize
I checked out, a long time ago.

Woke up with regret, in a hotel in Canton, Massachusetts.
And I put a suit on, to watch my father cry and say goodbye to his mother.
I know I’m a weird sight to see, haven’t been here in years.

Been walking around with the slouch of my back,
A crick in my neck, needed to get my eyes checked out a long time ago.
I look up at the sky, and I wonder why it took me so long to realize
I checked out, a long time ago.

And I say, you’re not supposed to live life this way. X2
I’m not supposed to live life this way.

Well I woke up to fumes, of hot fresh Colombian in the afternoon.
And I was singing a tune of a song I finally finished back in June.

Been walking around with the slouch of my back,
A crick in my neck, needed to get my eyes checked out a long time ago.
I look up at the sky, and I wonder why it took me so long to realize
I checked out, a long time ago.
