"Silver Lake" lyrics

"Silver Lake"

Aches and pains
From a bender out in Silver Lake
She can't talk sometimes, she gets lost sometimes
It's a lot but she's okay

Now it's such a shame
'Cause he was playing ball for Notre Dame
When he said "baby, no need to think so much
You know that mankind just needs a woman's touch"
She's waning and waxing tonight
She hates that he's asking her why
She says "It's not gonna happen
But boy, you'll be fine

She said "I don't wanna take it out on you, James
But lately I've been hanging by a shoelace"
And you're too late

She binged cartoons
Last summer while she licked her wounds
She said SpongeBob might be her favorite show
Is that a side effect of taking Lexapro?

She's waxing and waning tonight
She hates that the planet's aligned
She said "James, you're a good guy but I need some time."

She said I don't wanna take it out on you James
But lately I've been hanging by a shoelace
And you're too late
And you're too late
Yeah

I don't wanna hold my breath for you, James
I don't wanna hold my breath for you, James
I don't wanna hold my breath so I'm not gonna hold my breath
Oh I don't wanna hold my breath for you, James

I don't wanna take it out on you, James
But lately I've been hanging by a shoelace
And I don't want to take it out on you, James
And I don't want you holding out til doomsday

Give me two shakes
Give me two shakes and I'll be right there
