“Cough It Out” is an ode to the sensation that often accompanies smoking weed. Perhaps not coincidentally, it is exactly 4 minutes and 20 seconds long.
[Verse 1: Brian Sella]
It’s snowing right now; I wish it was summer
But when the summer rolls around, I wish I was freezing
They don’t call me "Mr. Greenside" for no reason
When they do, I pause and cough it out
I cough it out, I cough it out, I cough it out
I cough it out
[Chorus: Brian Sella]
All the branches on the tree
That we carved our initials in
Seem to bend and take the shape of them
And, oh, can’t you see?
I am delusional with love
I am delusional with love
I am delusional with love
[Verse 2: Brian Sella]
I don’t care if you’re not sorry; I forgive you
And with or without your support, I will continue
What I’m trying to say is you never know what you’ve been through
'Til you pause and cough it out
I cough it out, I cough it out, I cough it out
I cough it out
[Chorus: Brian Sella & Allison Weiss]
All the branches on the tree
That we carved our initials in
Seem to bend and take the shape of them
And, oh, can’t you see?
I am delusional with love
I am delusional with love
I am delusional with love
I am delusional with love
I am delusional with love
I am delusional with love
[Bridge 1: Brian Sella]
But whatever I did for you last year, I cannot do again
It’s getting harder and harder and harder and harder for me to call you "friend"
No matter how many times I say I won’t, I defend you if I can
But whatever I did for you last year, I cannot do again
[Bridge 2: Brian Sella]
I like the in-betweens
I like the time it takes to get somewhere
If you know what I mean
Wave your hands in the air like you just don’t care
I just don’t care
I just don’t care, I just don’t care, I just don’t care
I just don’t care
[Chorus: Brian Sella & Allison Weiss]
All the branches on the tree
That we carved our initials in
Seem to bend and take the shape of them
And, oh, can’t you see?
I am delusional with love
I am delusional with love
I am delusional with love
[Coda: Brian Sella]
But whatever I did for you last year
I cannot do it again
I will not do it again
