about

A song about an embarrassing memory.

The cat's name is Udon and he is a total shithead.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I found myself staring at the stars
I found myself half passed-out in the yard
Broken glass on bloody grass
Scotch and no sleep’ll kick your ass
What will the neighbors think about this one?

I find myself going through my phone
All those names and numbers but none say “Home”
Background themes through broken screens
Dogs and lovers and stupid memes
What does it say about me, that I’ve got nothing?

I found myself behind the camera lens
Tree frogs on the other side again
Orange light from streetlights
Takes me back to those nights
When I thought maybe it all meant something

I find myself thinking about this stuff a lot
Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it’s funny
But most the time it’s not

It’s wild to think on these past ten years
And where the hell do I even go from here?

Like I said

I think about this

A lot

I still drink, but don’t wake up in the yard
When I look up I still see the same stars
There’s new streetlights, and late at night
The glow is different but just as bright

I wonder

Do we get to choose which one we are?
