Lyrics

100 Summers

Never say you’re sorry we were playing some Atari

It’s an old game honey from the 70s like London werewolves

And it’s getting kinda spooky like the shit you see in movies

And I’m wearing my pin like I’m wearing my pain cause you gave it to me too

Like I’m wearing my game face players gonna move

Like the way that I hate yeah the way that I look 

And the way that you looked when you said you felt it too

When You said you felt it too babe, you said you felt it too

What are we gonna do

 

I can’t back down and I can’t back up yea

you said that you loved me you said that you love love

The fuck and

Once upon a motherfucking time I want you 

I wanted you, I wanted you 

A hundred summers died calling for you

Never mind, never mind I guess we’re through

What gets you through the night now?

 

I wear this band that you bought me oh

I’m in a band that’s just poppin off

Yeah we just played, yeah we just played a show and 

I got my name and I tatt you on

It’s a fuckin miracle 

I didn’t crumple and die but I did inside though

I’m just waking up

And I miss you

 

But I can’t back down but I can’t back up yeah

you said that you loved me you said that you love love

Once upon a motherfucking time I want you 

I wanted you, I wanted you 

A hundred summers died calling for you

Never mind, never mind I guess we’re through

What gets you through the night? 

 

And I can’t stand up and I can’t fall over again

And it’s midnight and you pick me up and you parade me to all your friends

And it’s just my luck and it’s just bad love and an angel’s touching my hand

And we’re dancing yeah we’re dancing yeah til the clock strikes 

 

And once upon a motherfucking time I want you

Once upon a motherfucking motherfucking

Once upon a motherfucking time I want you

I wanted you, I wanted you

No time, no party, Yeah I got no sorrys

I was sipping on molly and I got no heartache

I’m getting over baby 

Take a breather it’s a beater

Never met a non-believer 

Yeah we all got a part of it

College got hard again

College had the card again

Carded me off again

I’m in some shit babe yeah

 

Bones, break my sticks and stoner friends

Got home, take five, take my top off baby

It’s alright

 

Blue lace am I two faced

Am I too late for you, fine

Oooo I got it, chasing bodies

All for every mind

 

And I’m burning down

And I’m pulling up

Would you be enough for me? 
Would you be in love for once?
And I tell you just relax and let it come back to you

 

We ain't gotta fight it right now

And we ain’t gonna find it right now

Smoking on something mighty loud

Smoking on something that you like

Tell me your wants read minds

Tell me your big dream mike say

Friendly Fire

Looking at you for the first time was like seeing first light at the end of the tunnel 

burning all my bridges for FaceTime was lucky it hurt or I would never know when to run for cover 

coming up for air after a long time

wish I knew you way you know me, and 

 

Time tells all tell all 

read all about it feel all you doubt it oh man I got it handed by you

Baby blue tell me does it come in pink 

doesn’t even matter a thing Doesn’t even matter. Where’d you go now? Where’d you go now? Where are you coming from 

cause I’m swinging for the fences dammit daddy 

you made out like you planned it bandit baby 

trying to keep it friendly dammit daddy 

you shot me down

friendly fire, and I hit the ground running

 

I could paint you a million pictures but

you would look at not a single one 

and I’d paint you with probably issues but

look at what you’ve done oh

It’s OK it’s OK. It’s not great. It’s too late. But hey

Your fate my fate we both locked in every single shroud of gray

 

time tells all tell all 

read all about it feel all you doubt it oh man I got it handed by you 

oh man I

 

Baby blue tell me does it come in pink 

doesn’t even matter a thing. Doesn’t even matter. Where’d you go now? Where’d you go now

Where are you coming from?

cause I’m swinging for the fences dammit daddy 

you made out like you planned it bandit baby 

trying to keep it friendly dammit daddy

Friendly fire, and I hit the ground 

 

time tells all, tell all, time tells all, tell all

time tells all, tell all, 

read all about it feel all you doubt it oh man I got it handed by you 

Friendly fire, and I hit the ground running

Cats in the cradle and the silver spoon.

Murder

Simplest way to say it that I’m thinking that I fucking miss you
Drinking every day and never calling that’s a fucking bitch move but

What you did to me though, what you did to me though

Forget you and 

I can find other ways of spending my time

You go fucking other people baby that’s fine

I don’t need nothing now to make me feel right

I just feel right, you know

This is the fourth time I’m trying to say it to you

I can’t even make a face baby it’s screwed up

We’re fucking bruised and broken and you know 

Why, why, why

 

We can dance all summer

Playing in the rain we don’t plan our fun
And dammit baby you got the best legs, the best legs ah oh

Feel like who you kidding

The Avett boys are playing murder in the city and I

Come running for you baby

I think everything it gotta be done no way


Shit I got you shit you got me 

Should I have left, will you still leave

Do you even wanna talk anymore

 

Alright alright I know I got fucking issues

I don’t fucking diss you

But I can’t believe, I get it straight

If I stay, if you stay, if we stay here

Then who could be replaced

But I don’t know I don’t know I just say I just I just don’t know 

I guess i just went to promo and I just did a solo album but

Well they, well they want it

 

Why I

 

We can dance all summer

Playing in the rain we don’t plan our fun
And dammit baby you got the best legs, the best legs ah, oh

Feel like who you kidding

The Avett boys are playing murder in the city and I

Come running for you baby

I think everything it gotta be done no way


Shit I got you, shit you got me 

Should I have left, will you still leave

Do you even wanna talk anymore

Texas Hold’em

I was writing this down even as I got on the plane like a dealer you can cash me out and everything 

thought you might sing along yeah, I got it on the brain. 

Something like I can fly like paper planes in the pouring rain 

and I don’t know why I still howl at the moon, but I do when I think of you and I don’t know why I told you I’d see you soon, but I will if you want me to 

Straight up poker for a couple of pennies never made sense and I never made many friends and December was the coldest and I hate guns like I hate bad jokes but steady hands and I blow smoke now and then Texas taught me how to hold ‘em the way I feel I might stay till you say good night, babe. Mio Babbino Caro I’ll jump into the ocean the way I feel I might go play with you all night no my cards I’ll never show them Texas taught me how to hold ‘em. 

 

I was on your side of town just trying to chill like a dealer. You can hit me back oh Lord knows you will either way. I’m on a roll laying sideways on a hill either way we’re on a roll. We were rolling bills.

and I don’t know why I still howl at the moon, but I do when I think of you and I don’t know why I told you I’d see you soon, but I will if you want me to 

Straight up poker for a couple of pennies never made sense and I never made many friends and December was the coldest and I hate guns like I hate bad jokes but steady hands and I blow smoke now and then Texas taught me how to hold ‘em the way I feel I might stay till you say good night, babe. Mio Babbino Caro I’ll jump into the ocean the way I feel I might go play with you all night no my cards I’ll never show them Texas taught me how to hold ‘em. 

Ooooh
