All's Fair 02:19
Alls fair in love and boxed wine when I’m lyin on your floor And I tell you I’m a virgin and you say you’ve heard that before Alls fair in love and boxed wine When you take me out to dance And I know that I’m not sober But my feet still know the steps We siphoned boxed wine in your car after burgers And we drank the rewards on 22nd street And I know yes I know Thats there’s more to life than this So we make our goals While the red still holds us tight Alls fair in love and boxed wine on a sunny new years eve My cards are on the table and you don’t want me to leave Alls fair in love and boxed wine when we’re eating cheese and bread That we toasted together while we try to leave our dread We siphoned boxed wine in your car after burgers And we drank the rewards on 22nd street And I know yes I know Thats there’s more to life than this So we make our goals While the red still holds us tight Alls fair in love and boxed wine Through wine wars and through wine peace Alls fair in love and boxed wine When you’re lyin through your teeth And now we drink from bottles just because we like the art We’re drinking just as much now but the secrets lost its charm Alls fair, alls fair, alls fair

I feel like glowworms and piano chords I asked for closure and you gave me much more We’re watching star trek while you’re sketching away I’m sketching futures with you in my head This is the last night that I’ll be here in this town And we’re just vibin yeah just holdin it down The infomercials tryna sell us the world But I’ve been sold on something better for now Cuz lifes just one big whatever whatever Surf the gnar if it wants me too Because it’s chilly vanilly right here in my city And it’s totally wizard just chillin with you I feel like pancakes on a sunday morn I got my bags packed, yeah I’m headin up north And I may never see you again But im at peace with all that happened I paint skeletons cuz theyre easy to draw You pull on heartstrings just with your words Well your phrases, they arent catchin on You can correct me if it turns out i’m wrong Cuz lifes just one big whatever whatever Surf the gnar if it wants me too Because it’s chilly vanilly right here in my city And it’s totally wizard just chillin with you Feel like a robot who just learned to walk Ain’t got your shoes on when you walk out my door You hit the road with a hug but no kiss I hit the road on my train of thoughts The conductor says “tickets please” And if you’re vibin keep vibin If you’re chillin don’t leave Cuz the train’s pullin out of the station And I’m wavin from the window yeah I’m feelin elated Because you’re sicky sicky gnar gnar, you’re sicky sicky gnar gnar, you’re sicky, you’re sicky

We’re Livin in the anthropocene Cus the trees are filled with C14 Left over from the bomb peak In the 1960s I’m waiting on a mega tsunami When the canary islands fall into the sea The waves on the east coast will be 300 feet The dinosaurs started dying in the carribbean When a meteorite hit ten kilometers wide The earth boiled and then it froze Ushered in a new epoch thats the way the world turns We’re so good at dying we’ve been doing it for so long But the scales are terrifying and we’re afraid of doing it wrong The earth is 4.5 billion years into its solar rotation We’re just one glimpse into one small moment Who knows where we are going At the end of the permean period 95% of life died The 5 that survived mass extinction evolved and carried on alright Now our population is causing an extinction of its own We’re destroying our planet and killing ourselves But we’ll die before we kill our home We’re so good at dying we’ve been doing it for so long But the scales are terrifying and we’re afraid of doing it wrong The earth is 4.5 billion years into its solar rotation We’re just one glimpse into one small moment Who knows where we are going

They say you shouldn’t kiss and tell But how could I keep my mouth closed Took it as a sign from god When you hit that opossum in the road Maybe this is the first time Jesus did something good in my life Maybe it’s just coincidence But I’ve had my cards read too many times Everyone hates you cus you’re a gemini And everyone hates me cus I’m a Scorpio I know that you don’t really give a shit But solidarity is nice you know I think I write too many songs with way too many details So that everyone knows just who they’re about But you know that I love you, and you know this is coming So who really cares if I’ve got too big a mouth Cus I love the way you drive When it’s 3am and we’re on a ride I love outrunning cops with you Cus I love the way you drive When it’s 3am and we’re on a ride It’s easy when you drive like the people back home do
