lyrics

I keep grasping at straws,
cheap plastic straws
I'm trying to suck at everything
think I'll go for a drive
just to feel alive
and maybe crash my car into your house
like I'm Billy Joel

Getting lost in the dark
drunk in Asbury Park
something, something, something
Springsteen
Got the wind in my hair
not a care in the world
as the world burns all around me

All you shitty bands
don't let your hearts get broken
I can only hope all your dreams come true
and I'd never lie to you

I keep grasping at straws
cheap plastic straws
I'm trying to suck at everything
Got one foot in the grave
and one up my own ass
and I feel like no one understands

All our scenic plans
they all gone up in smoke man
and there's nothing left to write
all these lies are true

and I hope to smell you soon
and I hope your dreams come true
