Flannel

Lyrics

You said that I should get a clue
 Well I did, I did, I did, I did
 And it was to rid my heart of you
 So I did, I did, I did, I did
 Exactly what you said I should do
 I played the sleuth and I found a clue
 But I still can't stop thinking about you
 That's standard procedure
 You know, you know, you know me
 So fuck with my heart at your leisure
 That's how it goes, it's been going lately
 Said I was the best simultaneously the worst
 And best case scenario, I should be cursed
 For the rest of my life, for the rest of my life
 Well, I feel like I am 'cause I will never have you by my side
 So stay warm in that flannel
 That I left on your bed
 There was no way in hell I could put it on after that
 'Cause we were both soaking wet
 And I apologize if from time to time
 This makes you think of me
 But just imagine seeing that stupid shirt
 Everytime you fucking breathe
 That's how it feels to be me
 Your heart has proven to be more of a maze
 In construction season in the Heritage Hill one-ways
 For someone who's not from Grand Rapids on their very first days
 Me? I paid attention on my late night skates
 And when I was driving around in my van and how my best friend
 Who lived here his whole life
 Told me I know the city better than him
 He said, "Ty, it's like the back of your hand"
 I said, "Alec, I'd trade it in a heartbeat for the backbone of a man"
 I had to change my way home from work 'cause I couldn't even stand to
 Drive by her, and see her on her front lawn, with her bikini on getting a tan
 So here's the thing
 I don't need Fountain or Union Street
 For anything except Martha's Vineyard and the bakery so
 I'll just take the back of Michigan Hill down
 Eastern around and follow Lion all the way there 'cause this is what I found
 Life, may or may not be about finding true love
 But, it's certainly not about begging for it from someone so
 I'll keep doing the things that I do
 Like late nights, fat blunts, pizza pies with my crew
 Driving home from whatever bar's half-off after two
 While I'm blasting my favorite tunes and
 Seeing my favorite local bands at whatever venues
 While you keep doing the things that you do, like shifting blame, and twisting truth
 And making absolutely positively certain everybody in the room knows
 The victim had to be you
 I'll keep doing the things that I do
 And I'll find someone who wants me like I wanted you
 So sing along at a show this weekend
 Act a fool, get drunk with these friends, that you love
 Someone somewhere said all good things end
 So what in my mind made me think this time would be different
