Every summer, every weekend, every fucking night 
I tell myself today's the day 
The day I write that song 
The one that starts the album 
The one I'm gonna write myself 
Because I can come to terms with the fact the band went to the morticians 
While I teach kids at the academy 
But I won't come to terms with that's it 
When I still have something to say 
Even if I don't quite know what it is 
Because sometimes feelings are too big to condense 
And you fear garbled words won't make quite enough sense 
Or, worse, will be met with indifference 
And I'm only just one guy 
Who can barely play a bass guitar 
So who am I? 
To write an album when I can't even read music? 
Just been banging these same four strings since '96 
An old dog with no brand-new tricks 
Still tuned badly in open E 
The way my best friend once showed me 
Because that's what his dad taught him 
And we're all so strangely shaped by fathers 
Even when they're not our own 
When your dad's not around 
Because he'd rather be fucking around 
You make do with what you can 
So Every summer, every weekend, every fucking night 
I tell myself today's the day 
The day I write that song 
The one that starts the album 
The one I'm gonna write myself
