lyrics

We met up at the corner of St. Marks
You told me that the finish line won't matter if you never start
I thought it would be better but it looks the same from here
You're the sweetest wreck I've seen since I looked in the mirror

You scratched your name into my wrist last night
The scarlet dripping out looked so much redder in the stoplight
I know you said you're sorry but I have to keep the scar
The bartender says college kids have no place in her bar

I told myself I wouldn't write another song about you
Fuck code switch, fuck New York City and the things it made us do
I'm in Pennsylvania for a week I know you hate these suburbs
I hate the fact I'd take you back if you don't have a brand new lover

You said Adam I just need some sleep
Since I came to New York I have never felt this weak
I wish that I could hold you but you're slipping through the cracks
This record was so pretty but you had to leave this scratch

You're trying to be successful just to spite your ex boyfriends
I'll tell you one last story but you may not like the end
Fuck you if you think the world has got it out for you
You're finding boys in bars and I'm just passed out in a church pew

I swear to god I'd kill the devil in my stomach if you stayed
This is the first time since I came to college that I've prayed
Try to say you know me yeah you always thought you were so smart
But it's not the 60s so there's no point praying to St. Mark
