We Used to Vacation

[Verse 1: Cee]
Uh, alarm screams so I snooze it
Head ringing from the boozing, I'm woozy
Gimme ten more minutes, I'mma be good
Though I know I'm gonna be here longer than I should,
I gotta get my ass up, dog the cookies got me drowsy,
Scattered so I can't figure which way is the bathroom
And I swear I'm 'bout to give this up
It's so hard and for the missus man I'm trying just to give a fuck

[Verse: Cold War Kids]
I kissed the kids at noon
Then stumbled out the room
I caught a cab
Ran up a tab
On 7th and flower
Best recital I had to ruin
Missed my son's graduation
Punched the Nickles boy
For taking his seat
He gets all that anger from me

[Pre Hook: Cold War Kids]
Still things could be much worse
Natural disasters on the evening news
Still things could be much worse
We still got our health
My paycheck in the mail

[Hook: Cold War Kids]
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink
As long as I live
But even then
It sounds so soothing
This will blow over in time
This will all blow over in time

[Verse 2: Cee]
Yeah, and I swear she's getting over it
Well, it's either that or she's over me
I kinda push it just to see how it goes down
But one of these days she's finna blow up and bounce out
Uh, and my paycheck is coming in
And the lights is staying on so I fuckin' win,
The beer fridge is never empty cuz
It's the only little happiness I have, so what

[Verse: Cold War Kids]
I'm just an honest man
Provide for me and mine
I give a check to tax deductable
Charity organizations
Two weeks paid vacation
Won't heal the damage done
I need another one

[Pre Hook: Cold War Kids]
Still things could be much worse
Natural disasters on the evening news
Still things could be much worse
We still got our health
My paycheck in the mail

[Hook: Cold War Kids]
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink
As long as I live
But even then
It sounds so soothing
To mix a drink
And sink into oblivion
I promised to my wife and children
That accident
Left everyone a little shook up
But at the meetings
I felt so empty
This will blow over in time
This will all blow over in time

[Verse 3: Cee]
Uh on the real, I still believe that
All my little mishaps, she delete that
With no hard feelings, or some smart quips and
We been through way too much just to start this shit
Yeah and I reckon I'mma quit the piss,
But at least lemme have the weed, gimme this
I'm a good man, I provide for y'all
I ain't perfect so why apologise at all?
What? I fuck up just a little bit
But I mean well so that's gotta count for shit
I take her to the Caribbean every damn year
Palm trees and sangria keeps the peace around here,
If she keeps this nonsense up, I'm finna dip
Coz I swear I never signed up for this, Miss
And I really don't need the damn stress, bitch
But that's nothin' that a cold beer can't fix...
