You Must Not Be from Around Here

Pretty mess on the west, I smile at her sight
 She loves the Ergs, vegan food, oh, never mind
 She's the kindest girl you can find
 Oh, I miss late nights, late parties
 I don't get around
 It's the way that I never really even cared
 Stayed up late just to catch that movie premiere
 And I'm aware that it's hard to escape
 So we got stuck in a rut
 Now it's all catching up and pretending you relate
 Hey, we just don't surrender
 It's hard to talk about it when you don't remember
 And I think that even on the worst nights
 It tends to be alright
 I guess it will be alright
 I passed out on your couch for a little while
 And realized half my life has been in denial
 But these nights when we stare at the sky and talk about our lives
 They made me want to try
 I drove around as if to force conversation
 We ended up by the river if I'm not mistaken
 But I digress, I was out of my mind
 So when it's brought up, I've gotten good at lying
 I think this place looks better in the rear view
 I miss my friends, though I really didn't need you
 We won't go down without a violent fight
 This song's about every single thought that I've ever had
 Every single thought that I'd like to take back
 I know it doesn't work like that
 And half the time, it doesn't work
 Hey, we just don't surrender
 It's hard to talk about it when you don't remember
 And I think that even on the worst nights
 It tends to be alright
 I guess it will be alright
 Hey, we just don't surrender
 It's hard to talk about it when you don't remember
 And I think that even on the worst nights
 It tends to be alright
 I guess it will be alright
