No Better

We roll in heavy summer
When there’s strength in our numbers
And your breath’s hot and gross
But I kiss you like a lover
Legs stick to the seats of the car someone grew into
I forget the knowledge from the lessons that I went to

And Jamie picks fights
But they’re weak and short-lived
Because no one can be bothered
When it’s humid like this

And we roll in heavy summer like
It’s shameful to be underneath
The ceiling or a roof
Try come out and steal our thunder

Now the days are getting cooler
And the burning of our limbs
Doesn’t happen quite as bad
As the burn is just skin
Deep in the fantasies and dreams of the winter
Like the movies that we watched
To pretend it wasn’t winter

And everywhere we go
I can feel a subtle taste of the deeds outgrown
And the welcome overstayed
And you’re no better at swimming
Than you were in the beginning
But you come over at night
And we practice all the breathing

Go all the way
Have your fun, have it all
This will take you down
Get through the days
Do your thing, do it well
This will take you down

Go all the way
Have your fun, have it all
This will take you down
Get through the days
Do you your thing, do it well
This will take you down

I’ll pull the trick if I want to
I’ll pull the trick and it comes true
I’m chewing gum and it’s killing you
We’re getting dead and it’s the right way to do it
I see you happy in the front seat
I see you with all of your front teeth
You’re allergic but you never said
We’re getting dead and it’s the right way

Go all the way
Have your fun, have it all
This will take you down
Get through the days
Do your thing, do it well
This will take you down

Go all the way
Have your fun, have it all
This will take you down
Get through the days
Do your thing, do it well
This will take you down
