Tears Over Beers (Demo)

[Verse 1]

When I was just a boy

We'll call it fifteen or so

I found myself annoyed

By a syndrome of sorts in my bones

That girl who's next to me

("Wait, next to— like, right next to—? Oh, God")

She found herself bored to tears

She realized if she wanted conversation

She's out of luck for three more years

[Verse 2]

When I moved away from home

One hundred miles or so

I knew a change had grown

Inside my awkwardly long limbs and bones

That girl who's next to me

She's friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty

But all she has to say

Is a meathead-themed monologue on why Brad ran away

[Bridge]

She said, "All I can hope for is for me to get better

'Cause all I can take is no more

I'll win him back again, we'll be lovers, best friends

He won't need no other woman

Like he did way back when he was with me

He needed more than me

I'm friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty

But he needed more than me"

[Verse 3]

When I felt that I should leave

We'll call it midnight or so

I found myself annoyed

By a syndrome of sorts in her bones

That girl who's next to me

She don't know her worth in this town

'Cause her face starts to shine when that meathead behind me

Is grinning as he's checking her out ("Oh, come on!")

[Refrain]

I said, "All I can hope for is for you to get better

'Cause all I can take is no more

So I'll hide where I can

Away from you and your friends

Leaking tears over beers once again"

Leaking tears over beers once again

You're leaking tears over beers once again
