lyrics

My dad
is kicking me off his cellphone plan
Finally
My bad
I stained a 5-dollar shirt with homemade plum wine
And I cried

Oh man, I
Thought I’d get it together
Before the sea rose to our doorsteps
I thought I’d get it together
Before the sea rose to our doorsteps

My family
Tells me I’m argumentative
There’s nothing you can say back to that
But I’ll gladly
Admit that the apple falls close
And this time I left so they’re right

Oh man, I
Thought we'd get it together
Before the sea rose to our doorsteps
I thought we’d get it together
Before the sea rose to our doorsteps

Well, we all might be out of luck
And I owe you twenty bucks
Someday looks grim
But somebody still buys skim milk
Yeah, the future is dim
But somebody still buys skim milk

You’re in the frontseat
We stuffed our mouldy bed into the car for a dump run
And I’m in the backseat
Hangin’ on tight, still cryin’
‘Cause we watched Blue Planet last night, and

Oh man, I
Thought we'd get it together
Before the sea rose to our doorsteps
I thought we’d get it together
Before the sea rose to our doorsteps

Well, we all might be out of luck
And I owe you twenty bucks
Someday looks grim
But somebody still buys skim milk
Yeah, the future is dim
But somebody still buys skim milk
