lyrics

Early morning, I was just another passerby
He looked at me bragging like a frog who’d just caught a fly
And why oh why oh why oh why
Did you have to kill my buzz like that

It was on campus, a whole semester after
You and him were so caught up in laughter and you could just
Die just die just die just die that day
Is all I thought after all I’d lost

When the notes went south, you sent me out the door
I’ve thought about it and I don’t miss you
I’ve discovered so many things about myself
You never told me, was I out of time or out of tune?

Walking past semen smelling Bradford pears
A little high a little dazed, but totally aware
That you oh you oh you oh you
Had never felt so free since you left me

And I hope you saw that I was free too
I guess we moved on and you’ve got a new tune
Wish the very best in every single thing you do
Stay in time, stay in tune
