lyrics

I hope that you can take me apart, apart, apart, apart
When it was that we last met, I had a different haircut
I had a different haircut
It was long, now it’s not

We rode our bikes through the forest at night with the lightning bugs
At night with the lightning bugs
You were scared, we were lost

You saw me fight with my brother until we made each other cry
Until we made each other cry
It was sad, we’re both grown

But you gave me this mug with the rainbow stripes
It keeps my drinks warm when the ground outside is sleet
You still gave me this mug with the rainbow stripes
It keeps my drinks warm when the ground outside is sleet

I’ll bet you wish I were dead or at least that I were never born
At least that I were never born
And if so, then it’s tough
To try and patch up a garden that might be an ash heap now
That might be rubble on the ground
In the shell of a nut

But you gave me this mug with the rainbow stripes
It keeps my drinks warm when the ground outside is sleet
You still gave me this mug with the rainbow stripes
It keeps my drinks warm when the ground outside is sleet

I’ll likely be the one bitin’ at the bit
Stormin’ out and calling quits so enjoy
Watchin’ as I ache
Witness as it thins away, rinsed week old tray of paint

I hope that you can take me apart, apart, apart, apart
I know that you can take me apart, apart, apart, apart
