This catchy rock tune is about PUP vocalist Stefan Babcock’s relationship with his sister and the annual camping trips they would go on together.
[Verse 1]
This raft is hard to steer
The water is low this time of year
The smell of old decay is seepin' into my sweater
And all the run-off shit
From the nearby development
Is soakin' through my shoes, I'm barely keepin' it together, like
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not tryna stick it to you
But I've been tryin' hard getting through to you
And I'm not gonna lie, let's face it
You know I won't take it
I'm never gonna take it
[Chorus]
And you didn't even notice
Just runnin' through the motions
Don't test my patience
And I just can't take it no more
[Verse 2]
Holy shit! It's coming down
Three feet of snow, the frozen ground
Stuck in the tent for days
And you started laughin'
You said that it's a sign
Let's get high out of our minds
And throw away the map
Just to see what would happen
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not tryna stick it to you
But who thought of this in the first place?
And I've been tryin' to get through to you, 'cause
You're losin' it in the worst way
[Chorus]
You always got me on the hook
And you didn't even notice
Back in the old neighborhood
Just runnin' through the motions
You know just how to piss me off
Don't test my patience
You're always up to no good
And I just can't take it
[Bridge]
Even when I know I should
Don't know what to do
'Cause I'd still wanna hang with you whenever I could
I'm not tryna stick it to you
But I've been tryin' to get through to you
[Chorus]
And you didn't even notice
Just runnin' through the motions
Don't test my patience
'Cause I just can't take it
[Outro]
You always got me on the hook
(And I just can't take it)
Back in the old neighborhood
(Yeah, I just can't take it)
You know just how to piss me off
(Don't test my patience)
You're always up to no good
(And I just can't take it)
Even when I know I should
