CARING - Jeff Rosenstock, Laura Stevenson, Dan Potthast

So I’m playing the same chords again

I know I need to get lost in the moment

But I get lost before it begins

Fingers stretching out into space

Reaching as a thought slips away

It’s been so long since I’ve done what I should

That I forgot what I’m supposed to do

Realistic goals

Feels amazing to set them

Like shit when you don’t follow through

Or even make repeated attempts

Your paranoia’s got you verklempt

Song of the year of the century

I wanna wake in a new country

One without fear of my enmies

Coming at me in my sleep

I tried to rid the sunshine from the morning

Right over the 8 PM hump

Six miles later, I’m drinking a tallboy

And rolling another one up

Forgive yourself for not being good

Chase the morning wrapped in a hood

Rinse and repeat

And think of anything else

Tomorrow when you run along

The second fence they built on Suicide Bridge

I guess people just kept jumping off

Even if we all understand

There’s people that wanna see you again

There’s people that wanna see you again

And don’t care if this fucking place is a shit hole

Song of the year of the century

I wanna wake in a new country

One without famine or poverty

No elite

Song of the year of the century

Good if you’re not really listening

Bad at affecting reality

Covid a million

Dinosaur flu

I’d lick the floor if I got to see you

Caring makes you feel like a chump

When you see someone else

Who doesn’t want to
