[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

But there’s a joke in there somewhere
A joke in there somewhere
A joke in there somewhere
One that I am not prepared to make

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

But let’s keep an eye on all our enemies
While we’re popping the champagne
‘Cause that’s the thing about a victory
It comes in waves

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

You could be living a fable
In your one man parade
But you’re still waiting tables
In someone else’s cafe

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

When I could feel the wind's direction
When I knew what songs to sing

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

She's good with quick goodbyes
And whenever she rolls her eyes
That's her admission of guilt
On the temper she built
And, for me, that's her most familiar side

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

She was my lullaby personified, my vision in the mist
But her contacts were all promoters and a westside therapist
The 5ams, the worried friends, the parting of her lips
But I needed to witness someone wrestle with what it means to just exist

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

I got a friend who's been thinking 'bout
Finally kicking her husband out
His second life as a talent scout
Finally got him caught

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

I didn't hear the picture window break
I didn't see the rising sun
But I could feel the morning breeze
Then I heard her tired voice speak up
And say 'I think this party's done'
She asked if I could drive her home
And then she added 'please'
PLEASE!

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

I will move somewhere the ocean's never seen
Somewhere weeds just make their claims
Where my best friends exist only on screen
Where my love all fits in frames

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

The favorites get their favors
And this stranger's getting stranger everyday
The great ones all get greater
And this stranger's getting stranger everyday

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

You just roll with the punches
Until you can't feel a thing

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

Your sister's always mortally offended
At the mispronunciation of her name
Telling all her newer clients
That the W is silent
Before she sends them out the way they came

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

I buckle in my seat belt and plug my headset in a chair
And to the music I watch flight attendants move
They are pointing out the exits but it looks more like a prayer
Or an ancient dance their bloodline reaches through

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

And like the stock exchange for the billionaires
Like the convert singing his morning prayers
Or the scientist to the polar bear
I'm never gonna say goodbye

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

I just asked my folks not to pay my rent
But I still feel like a kid
I finally learned what NASDAQ meant
But I still feel like a kid
I'm about to be a married man
But I still feel like a kid

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

These are the days we’ve sworn upon
So barman keep the TV on
To see how far we’ve come

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

I can listen to your plans
I can look you in the eye
If I don't always understand
I can promise you I'll try

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

Now there's a loophole in the theory
That I cannot figure out
'Cause if love was what they said it would be
Then you'd be here with me now

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

The silent conversation gets directed toward the view
The cursive in the branches describes the avenue
The words like 'I am sorry' and 'I'm still in love with you'
Become a debt that won't get paid
Just another sound that no one made

[Dawes Lyric Bot @dawes_bot]

This one’s going out to you
On the day they let you out
For the thousand ways they ask if you’re okay
