lyrics

i found myself in the city of sin. i was watching the wedding of my two friends and i hoped it'd find me hopeful but i found myself with a boat-full. it was filling faster than i could bail with this bitter brain like a bottomless pail and i'm doing more harm than not. the maid of honor took her best shot - she called me out. she said "no one knows why the hell you were there." on the outside, i didn't seem to care. on the inside, i knew she was true - i had no business being a part of the crew. you see, other people's happiness just shines a light on the fact that i can't seem to get our love right so i disappeared and blamed it on the liquor from the previous night - she called me out.

the west coast embraced me with open arms and empty hands so i tucked them in my pocket where i had hoped their cash would land. i watched their world with rosie eyes and crossed their desert, long and dry, just to wet my lips on a stranger's in the night - she called me out. she said "keep tyler in your prayers. some nights, he finds this all hard to bear". when did i become the guy who cares and cares alike? i said "i don't often talk to heaven, but if i did - it wouldn't take a second thought". there i was, paid for and bought - she called me out.

buried in austin for a string of shows where we found some girls who were good to go until i opened my mouth and ruined the evening for joe. i'd like to think it's just something i do out of some bizarre principle i've gotta prove but the truth is...i don't think i could be nice if i had to - she called me out. she said "the difference between being edgy and mean is - you don't gotta say everything you think. you see, other folks have feelings and their self-esteem might not be through the ceiling like yours". take a moment of silence for the thought i could change then we'll shoot it and bury it in unmarked graves because i'll sleep off this whiskey and wake up just the same - she called me out.

baby, take me away. there are pretty girls everywhere and they've all got their own bags to check or claim. it seems i've tied my ribbon to yours and it might as well be a chain.
