folklore lyrics as told by the New York Mets (in track list order): a thread
I’m doing good, I’m on some new shit
And it would have been fun if you would have been the one
In my defense, I have none
You meet some woman on the internet and take her home
If one thing had been different would everything be different today?
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed you put me on and said I was your favorite
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
There goes the last great American dynasty
I had a marvelous time ruining everything
The doctor had told him to settle down
Fifty years is a long time
Staring out at the midnight sea
I think I’ve seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending
You were my town, now I’m in exile seeing’ you out
Those eyes add insult to injury
You never gave me a warning sign
I couldn’t turn things around
I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace
Look at how my tears ricochet
And you’re tossing out blame, drunk on this pain, crossing out the good years
And I'm still a believer, but I don't know why
Before I learned civility
I’ve never needed anything more
Whispers of “Are you sure?”
It was enough to live for the hope of it all
I’ve been having a hard time adjusting
I didn’t know if you’d care if I came back, I have a lot of regrets about that
I got wasted like all my potential
Make sure nobody sees you leave
But it dies and it dies and it dies
Like you don’t even exist
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
They strike to kill and you know I will
Its obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together
Keep your helmet, keep your life
And some things you just can’t speak about
Something med school did not cover
Just one single glimpse of relief
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
I could never give you peace
I talk shit with my friends
Screaming “give me a reason”
You know I left a part of me back in New York
Your faithless love’s the only hoax I believe in
...And then it was bought by me
