lyrics

Status quo is pretty good / So much going as it should / And I know that I’ve got no right to complain / But it seems that I’m always drawn / To the things that can’t live on / Like I’m craving what could never be sustained / Another best friend moves to the coast / In the past year, we’ve gotten so close / But I don’t know why I expected her to stay / I like artists and livers of life / Play all day, dance all night / It’s exciting, but I am inviting heartbreak / I like my loving new and my T-shirts old and I’ll drink this beer if it’s halfway cold / I know I’ll probably drink too fast and come on too strong / And these clothes are gonna wear right off of me before long / I spent last week stuck in last year / Gotta get my head back here / Instead of rerunning memories / What’s done is done / I’m so nostalgic for what has passed / Although I knew all along that it could never last / You can’t reverse the rise and setting of the sun / I like my loving new and my T-shirts old and I’ll drink this beer if it’s halfway cold / I know I’ll probably drink too fast and come on too strong / And these clothes are gonna wear right off of me before / I like my loving true and try on what’s new / And set down my glass after one or two / I know I’ll probably stay resigned to these traits of mine / But I hope I’ll learn to love what’s livable / In time
