Patternist

Bikes Lyrics







[Verse 1]

I'm never gonna see this place again

With these colonial red houses in my eyes

The catacombs we roamed to kill the day

While mom tried hard to feel alive

The lower-middle class, it finds a way

And so we packed the car with all that couldn't stay

To circumnavigate the lower-48

But none of it was ours to take, you know



[Chorus]

It's the way I make myself miserable

Over and over, over and over



[Verse 2]

I'm never gonna see his face again

The crooked bottle rocket scar from that July

We set fireworks at John Birch billboards

Outside county lines

I'm not fine



[Chorus]

It's the way I make myself miserable

Over and over, over and over

It's the way I make myself miserable

Over and over, over and over



[Bridge]

My God, I've changed

I'm losing myself to thinking this way

Get a grip, kid

C'mon, c'mon

C'mon, c'mon



[Chorus]

It's the way I make myself miserable

Over and over, over and over

It's the way I make myself miserable

Over and over, over and over



[Outro]

When you left through the window

To get to my house

Slipped on the rooftop

The fall knocked you out

Staying up late, you're a thorn in my side

I couldn't help but thinking, I'd swore you had died

Youth's indiscretions of time spent alone

It's all we had but our skin and our bones

Look at the frame, and how I'm getting old

And it's gone, gone

I know, I know, I know that it's...
