lyrics

I want to move to the mountains,
Find some legal drugs,
Live in isolation,
Let my friends wonder where I was.
Deal with this season's depression
By laying on the floor,
Melting into the carpet,
And wondering what I'm here for.

That's my ideal situation.
How do you feel about this
As a way for our old life to finally begin?

I want a decent job, man.
One that pays me well.
One where the boss ain't an asshole
To anyone who isn't him.
I want to move to the city,
Have ourselves a couple of kids,
Wonder why you're not my wife yet,
And wonder if it's something I did.

That's my ideal situation.
How do you feel about this
As a way for our old life to finally begin?
Because that's my ideal situation
It never mattered how hard I tried,
I can't ever seem to get you off my mind.
