LaterGator Lyrics

My knuckles match the frames of the
Polaroids in my hands
Writing more things down
Cause i lost count
Of the times that I claim
I’d hang on every word of yours
If I just had the grip
No matter what I try
You always find that
The details slip away

Can’t keep track of dates
Until we’re watching jeopardy
Always dumber when it matters
“What is fucking wrong with me?”
You say
You’re worried I’ve stopped trying my best
I’m distracted and I’m spread too thin
You feel me caring less
What’s it mean to listen
If I can’t manage to retain
The words that mean the most
Have slowly stopped sticking in my brain
We can blame the Zoloft
And maybe half the time that’s true
But overthinking all my thinking
Has never been a good excuse

My knuckles match the frames of the
Polaroids in my hands
Writing more things down
Cause i lost count
Of the times that I claim
I’d hang on every word of yours
If I just had the grip
No matter what I try
You always find that
The details slip away

I knew I’d lose some highs
In tuning out the lows
but now I’m left with just the noise,
“I can’t remember”, and “Who knows?”
I’m learning to live with losing
Parts of my own past
But I just can’t stand to keep
Missing out on now
So I won’t mourn the moments
That I fail to make last
I’ll just listen for the joy
In each new retelling of your favorite stories

Let my focus soften on these
Polaroids in my hands
Replace my memories
With better views
I’m lost without you
