lyrics
"the mediocre gatsby"
we drank behind a billboard that said everything must go
and we took those words to heart
because that was that summers manifesto
personality cos play, gypsy moths burning in the bulbs
we locked eyes against the concrete slabs and
spilled our guts to selfless souls
never showed, didn't know, thanks for callin
broken bones bloody toes id still come crawlin
overwhelmed by expectations what were u expecting lies
grain of sugar in my salty eyes goodbye
Madeline I'm a mediocre gatsby
don't cry I'm a mediocre gatsby
don't lie im a mediocre gatsby
don't lie don't lie
we woke up hand in hand she started breaking all my bones
pulling thorns out of my side as I made my way back home
good grief, she pulled that heart right off my sleeve
I had it well attached with tethered Velcro teeth
oh goodnight satellite, i hope you burn in hell with me tonight
your not a dwindling star more like a flashlight
never showed, didn't know, thanks for callin
broken bones bloody toes id still come crawlin
overwhelmed by expectations what were u expecting lies
grain of sugar in my salty eyes goodbye
madeline I'm a mediocre gatsby
don't cry I'm a mediocre gatsby
don't lie I'm a mediocre gatsby
don't lie don't lie
