I go out to check on you, you're out by the garage
letting all the concrete give you a back massage
When you came in shivering, I worried for your health
I offered you a blanket, then I worried for myself
I'll tell you what I found there
but it's difficult to tell

I'll say it explicitly, it's fact I volunteer
I'm 22 years old and I've stayed sober all these years
It's a complicated subject, don't think me a stuffed shirt
I dance and feel elaborate, and I won't try to convert
It's the loneliness that sets in
It's the loneliness that hurts

And I love you 'til you've had too many drinks
And then I like you 'til your attitude stinks
And I don't mind you 'til you cry of how your bad night worsened
And I mind it when I'm dragging you home
And I don't like you when you scowl and moan
And I don't love you, you've challenged me as a person
Yeah, right now, I don't love you, you've challenged me as a person

It drills into the core of me with an unrelenting drill
How I can't give her comfort, but something stronger will
I recently got passed up for psychedelic drugs
I should've told her "That's so stupid," but I offered her a shrug
Put a leash around my outreach
Give it a tug

And I just found out some friends do coke, I really never knew
It's not like I get invited to the cocaine-doing room
And it's messed up I feel left out, I know I can't be saved
when I think of me as cowardly and I think of them as brave
Short-term solutions for confusion
and thankful early graves

And I still having living vices that I can afford to lose
My general advice is to tend to every bruise
I still do things i can't stand, I yell instead of sing
I love people I don't like, then replace people with things
My conscience says, "You're already bad, just jump!"
It's really tempting

And I love you 'til you've had too many drinks
And then I like you 'til your attitude stinks
And I don't mind you 'til you cry of how your bad night worsened
And I mind it when I'm dragging you home
And I don't like you when you scowl and moan
And I don't love you, you've challenged me as a person
Right now, I don't love you, you've challenged me as a person
