Four Years

[Verse 1]

I take a shot of Jameson or Jack

To start the morning off with old friends

I'll celebrate like it's the anniversary

Of the day that we first met

I've been practicing our eulogy

Separated all our things

I took my name off of the lease

I'm leaving

[Chorus]

Because dear, four years hurts less than five

And it's never a good time

I am sorry for all my crimes

And the wandering gaze of my unfaithful eyes

[Verse 2]

Now I wonder, as I'm sliding under

The subtle control of the drink

If I have enough left in the bottle

To say all the things I'm thinking

I've been practicing my exit plan

Nervously checking time

I still don't know how I'll survive

[Chorus]

Because dear, four years hurts less than five

And it's never a good time

I am sorry for all my crimes

And the wandering gaze of my unfaithful eyes

[Chorus 2]

It's clear, I am an awful mess

I had to get this off my chest

Soon, the only thing I'll have left

Is your memory, and promises never kept

[Breakdown]

When she came home, I made her sit

My feet tap out a rhythm, as I draw breath in

To hurt the only one I've loved...

This is so damn hard, but I am giving up:

"The person that you love is dead!

I flooded him out with the Jack and Jameson!

So, happy anniversary!

The best gift I could think to give you was to set you free!"

[Outro]

(Wake up, you're sleeping

Wake up, you're sleeping behind the wheel

Wake up, you're sleeping

Wake up, you're sleeping behind the wheel

Behind the wheel)
