lyrics

I doubt I should drink coffee in the morning
Since I'm so bitter on my own
Over time I planted seeds of discontent
It's no surprise that they have grown

So if you find me now
I'm likely throwing shade
Just like the oak tree in the front yard
On the brightest summer day
But if I keep this up
It's just a matter of time
Til someone has enough
And then they cut me down to size

And I'll bet it's painful
When I'm sitting
In the splinters
Of my former social life
And I'll bet it's painful
When I'm sitting
In the splinters
Of my former social life

I doubt I should drink coffee in the morning
Since I'm so bitter on my own
Over time I planted seeds of discontent
It's no surprise that they have grown

So if you find me now
I'm likely throwing shade
Just like the oak tree in the front yard
On the brightest summer day
But if I keep this up
It's just a matter of time
Til someone has enough
And then they cut me down to size

And I'll bet it's painful
When I'm sitting
In the splinters
Of my former social life
And I'll bet it's painful
When I'm sitting
In the splinters
Of my former social life
(Na na na na na na na na)
And I'll bet it's painful
When I'm sitting
In the splinters
Of my former social life
(Na na na na)

The band debuted with the Glowing in the Dark EP in November 2014, and recently released The Better Friends EP in early 2016. ... more
