Lyrics

Salt Eyes

Friday night
Drank a Cab Sav
At your stupid party
No-one danced

T-shirts
Obsolete DVDs
All these novels
I bet you'll never read
Seemed fine

All this time, we believed we were living
Joy rides, splitting sides, getting thinner
We were so tired, baby we got salt eyes

Swallowed hard
Squeezed tight
I lost my car keys
Overnight
Almost did
Chickened out
Everything between us
Is different now

All this time, we believed we were living
Joy rides, splitting sides, getting thinner
We were so tired, baby we got salt eyes

I snap my hat back, to feel fine
You're never that mean, but you're never that kind

You're never that mean but you're never that kind
You're never that mean but you're never that kind
You're never that mean but you're never that kind
You're never that mean but you're never that kind
You're never that mean but you're never that kind
You're never that mean but you're never that kind
You're never that mean but you're never that kind
