Gary's sick again
His friends won't come around
When he thinks he's on the mend
But instead
He's not shaking from excitement
He's fucked behind his eyelids
He leaned in and he whispered
You won't be

Feeling it when the lights are dim
When all of your shoes are broken in
You'll only remember to forget

You can read all about it
In a local newspaper
On the back page

Did I beat the traffic?
Or did I miss the game?
It's all the same outcome
No matter how you play
There's a pressure in my system
But a moment in my life
Where I'll let go

Feeling it when the lights are dim
When all of your shoes are broken in
You'll only remember to forget
