lyrics

It always starts with me getting cocky
It always starts with me not listening and I'm thrown from the bull
I ask you to hold my issues
Roll up my reservations like a man does
Before he challenges another drunk man to another drunk fight
I'm always in a drunk fight with myself
i'm terribly sober and I'm starting to think

If I didn't have to listen to myself speak
Well I wouldn't
If I didn't have to listen to myself speak
Well I wouldn't
Well I wouldn't

Did I say something thoughtless
I feel like I should hide in the closet till the parties over
I'm picking at my beer label
I'm shifting in this backless chair
And I wonder if anyone would notice if I left
I'm just another voice in this cacophony of unhad sex
I'm a terrible listener and I guess I believe

If I didn't have to tolerate myself think
Well I wouldn't
If I didn't have to tolerate myself think
Well I wouldn't
If I didn't have to listen to myself speak
Well I wouldn't
If I didn't have to listen to myself speak
Well I wouldn't

Am I even real life?
Or does my true self only exist in my own mind?
If I sat alone long enough, what hell would I find?
I wanna run barefoot from your house till I see the sunrise
I wanna run barefoot from your house till I see the sunrise
