Lyrics

[Verse 1] Teach you how to play your Stratocaster Tell you that we're headed for disaster Tell me I'm to young to be this jaded I say you're to old to be this faded [Verse 2] I move with a shark's fin on my shoulder An existential fear of getting older The sour taste of sorrow on my lips When nobody is wrapped around my hips I shook 'em all I shook 'em all away last night [Chorus] I believe in letters of a certain kind Tell me all your secrets and I'll try to read your mind Just give me something useful I can sing It didn't kill me but I didn't learn a thing And I'm not lonely I'm just lonely by comparison [Verse 3] I can't see myself without assessment Sell you on a liable investment Tell me it's a little inconsistent And I say you're a little nonexistent [Verse 4] Press my hands together like they're bleeding It doesn't really count if you're not speeding And I used to be swimming now I'm sunk And I don't feel inspired just feel drunk I wished it all I wished it all away last night [Chorus] I believe in letters of a certain kind Tell me all your secrets and I'll try to read your mind Just give me something useful I can sing It didn't kill me but I didn't learn a thing And I'm not lonely I'm just lonely by comparison
