Wonder Drug

(album: Starry Night Over The Phone - 2019)

Just to be here and not leave ya'
It takes so much upkeep yeah
A rolling stone don't start me up
Since things all went Jumanji yeah
I traded everything to find a real cure
Those magic beans never became a beanstalk
I found religion couple times already before
Gambled everything on love 'til I was dirt poor
Passing town to town for answers
Like I rolled my ankle, out with all my crutches
Forgive them while u have them, before you're both in caskets
Strapped into a starship, cold as ice road truckers (Ah yeah)

With every blossom comes
A bee and you've been stung
Much more than all the rest
Your timing's not the best

My dear this could be your year
We got so close
Waiting on a wonder drug
(Something to slow the mind
On your most lonely night)
Waiting on a wonder drug
Between all the days we've seen
Making the most
Waiting on a wonder drug
(I say our glory days
Are not so faraway)
Waiting on a wonder drug

And I've seen good plans go pear shaped
And I got way past the concerned stage
Reverse Pinocchio I saw you turn fake
All that name dropping it just turns me off like earth day
How many licks to the centre of a tootsie pop?
How many likes until you feel like you are good enough?
How long can u look at ur phone before you call it off?
Plastic is forever and it's always washing up
I should probably say something when I go through stuff
Got some real good friends I haven't spoke to much
I've been busy blowing up, I can't let my moment pass
And when I sell a million maybe that will fill the hole in us

With every blossom comes
A bee and you've been stung
So much more than your share
This time we'll be prepared

My dear this could be your year
We got so close
Waiting on a wonder drug
Waiting on a wonder drug
Between all the days we've seen
Waiting on a wonder drug
Waiting on a wonder drug

My dear this could be your year
We got so close
Waiting on a wonder drug
(Something to slow the mind
On your most lonely night)
Waiting on a wonder drug
Between all the days we've seen
Making the most
Waiting on a wonder drug
(I say our glory days
Are not so faraway)
Waiting on a wonder drug
