Eli Blaker This is the greatest piece of music ever written. Beethoven and Mozart are frauds compared to these dudes.

lyrics

This one’s for you.
It didn’t turn out the way that I wanted it to.
That’s OK with me if that’s OK with you.
The words are all lousy, the chords don’t fit the song,
the melody’s weak, the rhymes are all incorrect.
Maybe that’s as good as it gets.

Because the truth of the matter is that life isn’t fun.
And you wake up one morning, and you find yourself stuck.
So where’s the sense in doing it alone?

Anyways, here’s the chorus:

Last night I drove home in the rain.
I think I’ll always feel this way.
The streetlights that line this old town,
they cut the budget, they don’t work now.
I go to work, I come home drunk,
I swear to God I will grow up.
I know that I’m not good enough.
That’s OK, that makes two of us.

I didn’t mean to insult you with that last line.
I’m just saying neither of us can reasonably by expected to be Jesus Christ. All we have to be is fine, and carve out a little place for ourselves that feels alright in a world filled up with stupid things.

I’m really digging my own grave here,
I’m just trying to say:
“Would you like a goddamn wedding ring?”

Last night I drove home in the rain.
I think I’ll always feel this way.
The streetlights that line this old town,
they cut the budget, they don’t work now.
I go to work, I come home drunk,
I swear to God I will grow up.
I know that I’m not good enough.
That’s OK, that makes two of us.
