LaterGator Lyrics

Sat and watched the birds\ Fight from my window\ Committing cardinal sins
I wish they chose flight
So I could resume sleeping in
I don’t get up to much these days
Mostly work and waste away
I try keeping up with music
I just don’t have much to play

Let the evening news
Live in the background
Sneaks into my head
But doesn’t really hit me
Until I go to bed
And so I call you after midnight
And you answer, we talk movies
I say sorry that I woke you
And you claim you couldn’t sleep

And you saying that is kind
But I don’t wanna live a life
That makes others have to lie

But I needed to show
I could survive on my own
But most nights have been lonesome
So I’m always calling home
Ask myself when I’m alone
Whether I’m easy to forget
Or hard to know

Listen to my cat cry in the doorway
Tried for purr-jury
You claim you’re his favorite
Well that’s not what he told me
And it really shouldn’t be a contest
But I could use the win
And I think you suss that out
Cause you retract your statement

I don’t know what that means
If you were acting with compassion
Or if you just pity me

But I needed to show
I could survive on my own
But most nights have been lonesome, so I’m
Always calling home
Ask myself when I’m alone
Whether I’m easy to forget or hard to know

And I don’t wanna live my life no more
A million miles away
From anything that makes me happy
Just so I can say
That I grew up, and I became someone
If it’s someone that I hate

Really I needed to show
I could survive on my own
But I’m lying through my teeth
Each time I pick up the phone
And I try not to over-think it
Cause I’m usually alone
And I’ve been dizzy with regret

But I needed to show
I could survive on my own
But most nights have been lonesome, so I’m
Always calling home
Ask myself when I’m alone
Whether I’m easy to forget or hard to know
