[Verse 1]
I'm glad the neighbors are moving out
Because I can’t listen to him play no more
It's just the same three fucking chords
Their voices ring so loud
Now that they've tossed their couch out onto the pavement
I think that I might take it
’Cause I'm at home on my own
Wishing that I wasn't alone
But I've been here before
Playing the same three fucking chords
[Chorus]
Don't wanna get used to this
Unless I know it's permanent
Don't wanna get used to this
In case it's something that I’ll miss
[Chorus]

Of coffee shops and parking lots
Wish I had a crystal ball
To tell me how to save us all
But I'll just keep on hanging out
While everyone is leaving town
[Chorus]
Don’t wanna get used to this
Unless I know it's permanent
Don't wanna get used to this
In case it's something that I'll miss
[Chorus]
Don't wanna get used to this
Unless I know it's permanent
Don't wanna get used to this
In case it's something that I'll miss
[Outro]
Tell me that it's alright, then we'll go
Tell me that it's alright, then we'll go
Maybe I'm wasting my time
Maybe I'm losing my mind
I don't wanna go
But I gotta go
I don't wanna go
