Salt And Vinegar

(Album: Mother Tongue - 2022)

Cheers to the optimists
That turn into realists
Who end up like cynics
You put all your chips in
Borrow money from your parents
And trust fall on talent like it was ever about that

If you're not hot on the internet, who are you?
Sorry, pass if it's less than a million views
Please hold while we never get back to you

Oh no, looks like I'm bitter
Guess I'm coming off a little salt and vinegar
Go ahead, call me a quitter
Guess I'm coming off a little salt and vinegar
People like to tell you dreams do come true
But no one likes to tell you that they leave a bruise
It's true, I'm pretty bitter
Guess I'm coming off a little salt and vinegar

The deeper you dive in
The more that you notice
That everything's broken
The suits behind big desks
Junkies for a paycheck
Will cash in on a car wreck
Call it a hit and run

I used to think that the cream would always rise
Maybe it does, but often it gets set aside
We all know that it spoils after time

Oh no, looks like I'm bitter
Guess I'm coming off a little salt and vinegar
Go ahead, call me a quitter
Guess I'm coming off a little salt and vinegar
People like to tell you dreams do come true
But no one likes to tell you that they leave a bruise
It's true, I'm pretty bitter
Guess I'm coming off a little salt and vinegar

But I keep coming back to it, don't know why
Burns so bad, water in my eyes
Coming back to it, don't know why
Burns so bad, water in my eyes
Coming back to it, coming back to it
Guess I have to do it

Oh no, looks like I'm bitter
Guess I'm coming off a little salt and vinegar
Go ahead, call me a quitter
Guess I'm coming off a little salt and vinegar
People like to tell you dreams do come true
But no one likes to tell you that they leave a bruise
It's true, I'm pretty bitter
Guess I'm coming off a little salt and vinegar
Guess I'm coming off
