5:53
We ain't friends, we're just morons.

We broke skin in the same spot.
6:02
But, I've never seen you take a turn that wide.

And I'm high enough to still care if I >> >> die.
6:14
So, I tried to be the thoughts that you worked overtime to stop.

And I said nothing for a while.
6:28
>> >> You know, I think about you all the time.
6:34
>> >> And my deepest understanding of your life.
6:40
And how bad it must have been for you back then.

I hope you settle down.
6:54
I hope you marry rich.
6:58

7:13
And what he might do >> >> with it.
7:22
You hitched yourself across the great divide.

The world is scared, hesitating things.

Thank you guys so much.
11:56
>> Honey, come over.
12:00
Party's gone sour.
12:03
And no one will tend to you.

There's orange juice in the kitchen.
12:15
Bought for the children.
12:18
It's yours if you want it.
12:22
We're just glad you could visit.
12:26

so long that I didn't >> >> think to ask you where you'd gone.
12:52
Where'd you go then?
12:58
You said >> >> You said You said my heart has changed
13:16
and my soul has changed
13:18
and my heart and my heart
13:22
and my face has changed
13:24
and I haven't drank in 6 months on the dot.
13:31
See the grace as you passed through.
13:35
From our crash back in '02.
13:39
Not one to call your finger.
13:43
You still ask me to hold you.
13:47
But it made you a stranger.
13:51
And filled you with anger.
13:55
Now I'm third in the line up.
13:59
To your lord and your savior.
14:03
Feels like I've been ready for you to come home so long.
14:20
But I didn't >> >> think to ask you where you'd gone.

15:05
and you had not No,
15:07

15:09
And the world has changed.
15:11
Don't you find it strange that you just went ahead and carried on?
15:17
And you know I said the last time I drank I was face down
15:22
passed out there in your lawn.
15:25

The party's gone stale.
16:07
And no one will tempt you.
16:11
They know you got sober.
16:14
The sun's juicing in the kitchen but for the children.

Um >> >> The songs are really sad, I know that,
17:00
and so thank you guys for just keeping your smiles on your faces.
17:03
I'm watching them like how they smile.
17:05
Um but and so the the little item I'm leaving I'm leaving my Lexapro

17:39
So, thank you.
17:54

I had to run out of words.
17:59
So, I stared at the plastic colliding with Earth >> >> at the fast food.
18:15
Shine out and live.
18:20
I prepared for the warfare with a voice in my head.
18:31
And I thought it was strange how the letters replaced.
18:42
How the highway sign seemed to laugh in my face.
18:55
If you were here, you'd make a joke of it.
19:03
I'm alone getting lost >> >> in the scope of it.
19:14
>> >> And I see you driving.
19:19
>> >> And your love is like an open flame.
19:22
I'm a running car near a closed garage.
19:25
Someone once told us there's a world out there,
19:28
but we don't care enough to drive that far.
19:31
Just been a damn near perfect day.
19:33
Just getting high at the outlet mall.
19:36
People grow up and they move away.
19:39
But you don't care and I don't mind at all.
19:48
>> >> I got the car, you got the bag,
19:51
a handwritten note there from mom and dad.
19:54
Old police scanner bouncing on the dash.
19:57
A cup of burnt coffee and a check to cash.
20:02
I had the brains, you had the shitty job.
20:05
You got the taste of the county cop.
20:07
A pack of cigarettes and a round dog.
20:10
>> >> Make a living working for the pay time mall.
20:15
Such simple lives lead you to make this place.
20:20
In the >> >> interest of time, we got to follow our ways.
20:26
While our love is like an open flame,
20:28
I'm a running car near a closed garage.
20:31
Someone once told us there's a world out there,
20:34
but we don't care enough to drive that far.
20:37
Just been a damn near perfect day.
20:40
Just getting high at the outlet mall.
20:42
People grow up and they move away.
20:45
But you don't care and I don't mind at all.
20:48
But you don't care and I don't mind at all.
20:51
Yes, sir.
21:43
>> >> So I said all right.
21:45
They drew to make this space.
21:48
In the interest of time, we got to follow our own ways.
21:53
But our love is like an old flame in a burning car in a
21:57
closed garage.
21:58
My mama told us there's a world out there.
22:01
We don't care.
22:02
Not going to drive that far.
22:03
Spend another day in your perfect day.
22:06
Getting high at the alley at the mall.
22:09
People go up and they go away.
22:11
She don't care and I don't mind at all.
22:14
She don't care and I don't mind at all.
22:19
I got the car, you got that bag.
22:21
A handwritten note there for mom and dad.
22:24
A police scanner bouncing on the dash.
22:27
A cup of burnt coffee and a check to cash.
22:32
I had the brains for that city job.
22:35
But she got the taste of a county cop.
22:38
A pack of cigarettes and a round of golf.
22:40
Make a living working for the pay time on.
22:45
Thank you, guys.
23:00
>> >> Yeah.
23:00
