I don't need you, I don't need you

Besides I barely ever see you anymore

And when I do it feels like you're only halfway there

'Cause I really don't have the courage not to turn the volume up inside my ears

For years I used to put my head inside the speakers

In the hallway when you get too high and talk forever

I get a little punchy with the vodka just like my great uncle Valentine Jester did

I'm exactly like you Valentine, just come outside and leave with me

Let's just get high enough to see our problems

               D                      A
Let's just get high enough to see our fathers' houses
