High Fives

(album: Dream Homes - 2009)

Left me all but dead there
Headed out back east
Woke up on the porch where
The night before we drank ourselves to sleep
Stick between a drunken daydream
And real eviction threats
I thought that you might love me
Fuck the landlord, fuck the rent

Alright, high fives for low lives
Drinking lonely, heartsick drinks tonight
Some days, some nights just slip by
Sometimes I'm wishing that this world would die

Show me the sunny side of regret
Tell me the one about sure thing bets
Paid in full without consequences
I know why you have to believe in lies
Yeah, and I know tonight when I close my eyes
When the room spins, when the brain stops
There's a chance I can let this go for now

Try to keep four walls from doing their worst
I know damn well that this is not the first
Or the last of drinking with the lights out
Wondering where you went
Should've know it'd be more of the same shit luck
Got enough losing hands to keep myself fucked
'Til it rains down dollars in the ghetto
I'll hold my breath 'til then yeah

Alright, high fives for low lives
Drinking lonely, heartsick drinks tonight
Some days, some nights just slip by
Sometimes I'm wishing that this world would die
