about

A song inspired by the hordes of drunken twenty-somethings that roam the streets of my neighborhood every weekend, puking in the streets and freaking out the locals, and how lonely I think they might actually be.

lyrics

Light pollution glows above the trees across the highway where the dealers are all starting their shifts. From my perch I can observe the students crossing their fingers in hopes the find someone to go home with.

This routine is as old as time itself, and all my screaming and complaining doesn't help. I guess all their confidence is a different kind of wealth.

Love is a luxury and heartbreak is a privilege, and it's easier to beg forgiveness than to ask permission, so don't you blame me for falling the way that I do. We should be so fortunate to feel something so deeply, and don't we all deserve someone to love us so completely incorrectly? Yeah, somehow we'll make it work. Somehow we'll all get what we deserve.

But for the life of me I cannot tell why we minimize our problems and hope that it goes well. I guess all that confidence is a different kind of wealth.
