About the Artist
Lyrics
Kelly says that at the end of each relationship The boy starts quoting lyrics from that Movielife song And my mom says there's no songs with her name in 'em Except one about a crackhead and Janie's Got a Gun Well Max says when I mentioned him in Bar Bands Kids started asking questions It got weird kinda quick And I had a dream that We named a kid we never had after Hannah Hold On And I haven't listened since Cause it tears me to pieces Someone keeps putting on all of the sad songs I keep singing along The jukebox turns and I'm gone I poked in all my quarters Looking for the perfect swan song to walk out on Stevie said that if I woke up feeling helpless That I should think about it different That I had it all wrong It's not the end if you call it a new beginning Plus it's a chance to write some bitter fucking love songs I heard Quentin belt the notes to some words that Alex wrote About dying alone And I felt sort of whole It takes a fucked up head to think about dying alone When you're in you're twenties So I'm glad it's not just me It takes a fucked up head to think about dying alone already Someone keeps putting on all of the sad songs I keep singing along The jukebox turns and I'm gone I poked in all my quarters Looking for the perfect swan song to walk out on Someone keeps putting on the sad songs Someone keeps putting on the sad songs Someone keeps putting on the sad songs Someone keeps putting on all of the sad songs I keep singing along The jukebox turns and I'm gone I poked in all my quarters Looking for the perfect swan song to walk out on
