"Dan"

Everybody's asleep, let's talk about him

Let's talk about high school, talk about death

Talk about the long ride home from the grave

How we were too ****** up on Thum's birthday

Seasonal bugs in a canvas tent

Seasonal friendships I can see the road end

You're appealing to the parts that you know I hold dear

You've been the best five minutes of a **** whole year

And I'm so glad we're here

'Cause I'm with my best friend Dan now

Camping on the county line

Hand around a Miller Lite

Waiting for the sun to rise

Couple of hometown heroes

Fighting over politics

Sitting and remembering

Young men from different sides

And we're so alone

Most of the time

Most of the time, we don't have anyone

Where do we go, when we die

I wouldn't mind right here

I wouldn't mind at all

Through the dying light of a flashlight lens

You tried to tell me how unfair it is

That I have what I have and you got what you got

Said I'd give it all back if I could, I cannot

Loon calls pierce through the violent sky

Think I stood right here back when Carlo died

Said I hated the way i made it all about me

And every day from back then is like a bad old dream

And I can't fall asleep

But I'm with my best friend Dan now

Camping on the county line

Hand around a Miller Lite

Waiting for the sun to rise

Couple of hometown heroes

Fighting over politics

Sitting and remembering

Young men from different sides

And we're so alone

Most of the time

Most of the time, we don't have anyone

Where do we go, when we die

I wouldn't mind right here

I wouldn't mind at all

See the wasps

Hit the water

And drown

See the lightning

Light the world

And land on Orange County ground

Flip a rock

See the bugs

Sleepin' sound

Hey, that's us

You and I

Will be found

We ain't far from my house

I'm with my best friend Dan now

Camping on the county line

Hand around a Miller Lite

Waiting for the sun to rise

Couple of hometown heroes

Fighting over politics

Sitting and remembering

Young men from different sides

And we're so alone

Most of the time

Most of the time, we don't have anyone

Where do we go, when we die

I wouldn't mind right here

No, I wouldn't mind at all

I wouldn't mind

I wouldn't mind right here, No I wouldn't mind at all

I wouldn't mind at all

Everybody's asleep, let's talk about it

Let's talk about high school and talk about death

Before the moment tries to disappear

Don't the sky look pretty up here?
