Sitting out on the back steps,
You let out a big breath
With lingering smoke from your last cigarette.
I know, I know, I know, I know that was a few months ago.
I remember it was warm then, now it’s cold.
I watch the weather on tv.
I watch the green on the screen cover up this stupid fuckin’ city.
And now it’s like you won’t believe.
All the things I want and need
Just seems so fuckin’ out of reach for me.
Sitting out on the back porch.
We talked for hours, you don’t smoke no more.
And then I never felt closer to anyone before.
Now I know, I know, I know that was many years ago.
We were so young then; now we’re old.
I watch the weather on tv.
I watch the green on the screen cover up this stupid fuckin’ city.
And now it’s like you can’t believe.
All the things I want and need
It just seems so fuckin’ out of reach for me.
It seems so fuckin’ out of reach for me.
Seems so fuckin’ out of reach for me.
For me, for me
Seems so fuckin’ out of reach for me.
For me, for me
Seems so fuckin’ out of reach for me.

A very unique addition to the PUP discography that brings a multitude of new sounds compared to previous works, not bad by any means, just a little different.
Go see them live, chaotic. Shmoob

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
