lyrics

All these people on a first-name basis
New kids on the block
I think the neighbors know
I think they’re onto us
I think they’re calling the cops

I’m never gonna shave
I’m never gonna cut my hair
All the money I could save
And buy a recliner chair
Kicking back like a deadbeat dad
Leather jacket and my stained sweatpants
These days you can’t have no plans
I guess I’ll live like that

Oh, I know
I missed your call
So it goes
It’s gone

I’m running in place
I wore the grass to the ground
I need a little space
And I need someone to help me out
I need you, baby
Before it all falls down
And I hope it’s not a waste
All this time running in place

I could literally die in the register line
Or a gun from a white blood defender
I am going outside just to simulate life
Feel the camera shine
But I’m never gonna stray too far
And break your heart
I’ll see you in an hour tops
And all I want’s to clear my thoughts
So you know I’ll be right back

Oh, I know
I missed your call
So it goes
It’s gone

I’m running in place
I wore the grass to the ground
I need a little space
And I need someone to help me out
I need you, baby
Before it all falls down
And I hope it’s not a waste
All this time running in place
