"Matt, this is one of your biggest, biggest fans, okay?"
"I wanna fuck you!"
"And my phone number is 37—03 if you'd love to just call me, okay? Because I was just, I could talk for hours to you because you are so cool, man. Yeah, I know where you live and everything, hahaha."
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
The bad news is that there's nothing good to say
The minty flavor's been chewed to nothing that I can taste
Harsh reality just set in today
That my limbs were drying quickly in concrete and clay
I made my peace with Jesus

Jumping from a bridge with one hand tied to the railing
I am thinking of you with cinderblocks for shoes
Jumping from a bridge with one hand tied to the railing
I am thinking of only you with cinderblocks for my shoes
Jumping from a bridge with one hand tied to the railing
I am thinking of you with cinderblocks for my shoes
