I have no money till next Friday
I'm living off cans of black beans
no central air in the apartment
if the mold doesn't kill me I'll probably just freeze
the sink water's not safe for drinking
and showering is not advised
and I've punched holes through out the ceiling
none of my room mates are surprised

There aren't a lot of things in this world that I care about
but if I had to make a list, you're on it
sometimes I feel like you forget, so I'll remind you
it's cold in the Midwest, but at least I'm with you

Donnie can't stop crying about the cold
We've been living here our whole lives
You'd think after 20 years
We'd be used to the weather
But somehow every November
We find a way to bitch and complain
About something we all knew was coming
So goddammit Donnie put on a sweater
Just stay inside and I swear that
it will get better
You'd think after 10 long years
Of playing guitar
I could write a song that doesn't suck

I looked in the window
And I saw you
And just for a moment
You looked at me too
We turned our heads away
Me chatting some bullshit with my friends and you talking to yours
I looked up at you again
And you were looking at me
I went home that day
Having seen a new face
Having heard a new name
And somehow I knew
That you were here to stay

Lost In The Same Place

It's been 24 years
And every 52 weeks
I realize it's been 365 days
And I'm months away
From this fucking winter thawing
Every year
It's something we all think:
"Yeah it's pretty but why the fuck do we live here"
Friends and family that ties us
to this place
That's all I can think of
when I see this look
on my face
The expression reads of fear
The expression reads of love
I get lost in the air
Like a lonely little dove
Flying thru the air
When all his little friends
were taken on time by that man
for their appointment
At that pretty girls wedding
Where those birds were released
In a place so much warmer I know
It's Somewhere not so near
I know that in this frozen state
I'm in a frozen state
And I don't really know how to make myself feel great
Until the winter thaw
Every year
It's something we all think:
"Yeah it's pretty but why the fuck do we live here"
"Yeah it's pretty but why the fuck do we live in the midwest"

I'm a little more drunk
than I typically like to get
But
I placed a bet
On seeing how well I could be someone else
Curious if anyone could tell
There lives lonely little man living inside a lonely little town
He tries and tries to root his feet into the ground
But the world is so large he can't help but move around
We all fall
We all fall down
But what makes us who we are is never how we fall
It's how we how brush right off say fuck right off and move right along
