lyrics

This ain't 2006, the summer's not endless
I know this from several years of trying
To hold onto these moments, while all of these moments
They only keep dying and dying

So what am I supposed to do?
Is it too much to ask to be happy now
After all that we've been through?

So I'm roaring into bars, loud and abrupt
Let's get up, let's get fucked tonight
And my friends, my friends got impatient
And I guess I can't blame them
I get pretty hard to take when I start feeling this way
Like my only escape is through brute force
Or a bottle of whiskey
Whose side are you on tonight?
Let's get up, let's go out, all right

So I'll call in the morning, I'll tell you I'm sorry
Didn't mean to be an asshole, I know you were only trying
To get me out of the snow
I didn't mean to break his nose
I was just trying to drive my point home

So what am I supposed to do?
Is it too much to ask you to stick around
For more than a night or two?
I've been circling the block, anxious and rough
It's not enough, I feel stuck tonight
And my thoughts, my thoughts keep on racing
I try but can't tame them
It gets pretty hard to do when I start following through
The only thing that ensues is chaos
Some liquid distraction
Whose side are you on tonight?
Let's get up, let's get fucked tonight

'Cause this is for my so-called friends
And how they disappeared when it got inconvenient
And this is for the stories they told again and again
Trying to get back to where it all began
But this ain't 2006 anymore
You gotta find something worth living for
This ain't 2006 anymore
And this sure as hell ain't worth dying for
