Washington Square Park Lyrics

I m looking for the upsides to these panic-attack nights
where I m staying in eating take-out food by TV light
I m trying to play the b-side to this awkward life of mine
You could flip me over
I d sing a few lines about how
I m so used to shooting myself in the kneecaps
standing in the way of progress or letting down my friendsI m nailing shards of hope together
to put something over my head
because you know here it s always raining
and it happened again. It happened again
She said, I let this slide when we were younger
You know you don t have to write like this
The whole world s full of losers
If you get a chance to win, take it
I stood on the roof with Matt and Molly
Watched the gray slide off the city
because it s finally spring
We rode our bikes over to 6th Street

to Washington Square Park
to see if the tides would turn for meI m nailing shards of hope together
to put something over my head
because you know here it s always raining
and it happened again. It happened again
She said, I let this slide when we were younger
You know you don t have to write like this
The whole world s full of losers
If you get a chance to win, take it
I left a lot of blood in California
on our first trip out west
I was younger and restless back then
and I thought, if no one s in my corner
since everyone left
I d better make it worth it
