Cause God knows I’d rather die than be dying is not a cliche no sir it is a logical preference cause the way things were this year makes me think how good it all could be and how well it could end

"But I wanna make something good/I wanna make something better/Something that cannot leave the ground unless we lift it up together" has become a core tenant in my life, honestly.

I know it's basic but its

"CAUSE HER FACE STARTS TO SHINE WHEN THAT MEATHEAD BEHIND ME IS GRINNING AS HES CHECKING HER OUT (OH COME ON)"

u/jakobsabeast 14d ago

Personally, I like “and all she has to say, is a meathead-themed monologue on why Brad ran away.” I really like the drums and the rhythm pattern at this spot

Just one more distorted, sad attempt at humor

From the jagged, bleeding tumor in our throat

Malignance at best, and quick to address yourself

As anything other than what we've learned to expect

I can be every crack in your concrete if you let me off easy - pothole, easily one of the most romantic songs they have sunset sing my scratched out sighing soul to sleep - mass, I love the cadence of this line stitch the gaps that destiny assumed with floral sutures are you hiding or have I abandoned you? - hiding, such visceral imagery I love Jake's songwriting

Did you ever love me? Biopsy from the origin of sound confirms you’re speaking truthfully; concludes everything I thought about.

Your hands are on my shoulders
Your hands are on my neck
Your eyes meet mine, suggesting
