The second track of “The Disappointing Tape”, Chris expresses a sentimental, nostalgic view of time he spent with an old friend group.
[Intro]
(Unintelligible news broadcast)
[Verse 1]
Burger in one hand
Phone in the other
Sittin' on car roofs
Last day of summer
Street lights and sunset blurrin' our shadows out
No doubt
And then we're doing doughnuts in strip mall parking lots
I didn't feel like myself a lot back then
But when I was with the crew
And rollin' around the town on Kevin's rims
[Chorus]
I was so cool
In my slip-on shoes
Long afternoons
Penny loafer blues
[Verse 2]
But nowadays the crew is split and that was it
No one to blame but happenstance
In different schools
Financial views
Several shitshows
And it hit the thing that made us whole
Took the hometown
Now a borrowed home
Well I see the four of you sometimes
I'll miss the stupid shit we used to find ourselves, and
Damn let's go watch a flick or somethin'
Break into the neighbor's pool, alright
Let's go drink a bit too much tonight
And we'll ride our bikes by the power lines
Contents in the Christmas liquor rush
Gas station sandwiches and mirages to see
The four of you and the one of me
(Unintelligible)
[Chorus]
We were so cool
In my slip-on shoes
And it goes long afternoons
With my penny loafer blues
We were so cool
In my slip-on shoes
Long afternoons
Penny loafer blues
Penny loafer blues
Penny loafer blues
