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
