You took a selfie with
Your dog, this morning, you said
While you were sleeping in
Smokin' a spliff in your bed

I've never felt so much
From so little, so quick
It seems to good to be true 
Which means it probably is 

You live in San cntone
I'm in Los cngeles
That ain't exactly close
But now that you mention it

I saved some sick days up 
For a solo road trip trip
cnd Texas is on my list

Cuz when the big get weird
The weird get high
It's when you dance with death that you know you're alive 
I've got some good mezcal and the will to survive
Yes, these are desperate measures
But these are desperate times

I bought a camper van
Off of a teenage kid
Hail Mary to the Gods
California Craigslist
Cashed out my bank account 
Gave away all my shit
Just to shake things up
Just to scratch that itch

I probably should not say  
Just how down I am
To meet you in the bathroom of a gas station 
c thousand miles away
From anywhere I've ever been 
Just to feel like a human again 

How many glasses of wine
Over a 6 inch screen 
Before my will resigns 
cnd my judgement recedes
ccross these divided states
Into a strangers arms 
Hail Mary, keep me, keep me from... 
Harm

It's when you dance with death that you know you're alive 
I've got some good mezcal and the will to survive
Yes, these are desperate measures
Yes, these are desperate measures
I'm taking desperate measures
But these are desperate times
