lyrics

Like a Dixie cup
Wasn't made to hold water forever
Like the fraying of these aging tethers
There's not much that you can do

Drink too long and you'll taste the paper
I never quite learned how to escape her
We are both victims of our hesitation
Drowned ourselves together

And they say

You've got to risk it all
Just for a chance at what you want
Spent nights in Davis Hall
Within the stairwell, on the floor

A boy without his toy
A dog without a bone
We cried alone


Like a dixie cup
Just a part of my routine
Filled with scenes I can't unsee
Then fell to the tiles

And you can move miles and miles away
You'd still be the person that you are today
All your skies would still be gray

So I told her

You've got to risk it all
Just for a chance at what you want
Spent nights in Davis Hall
On Tom and Mikkel's 412 floor

A man without his muse
A ball without a chain
Some things won't change
Some things won't change
Some things won't change


And I never quite learned how to escape her
Darling it's better this way, we'll both end up much safer
We can't go on burning two hearts of paper
Here's to the days
Here's to the nights
We can't hold this weight, that's alright, you're my Dixie cup

(We can't go on)
(We can't go on)
(We can't go on)
(And on)
