[Verse 1]
I got drunk, booked a one way flight
I hitched a ride from Reservoir to Northcote
I felt alone, wrote a letter home
And all it said on the page was "How are you?"
You were my mission that lonesome night
A true religion that I could believe in
Too sick to go so we just traded blows
And every bone in my body was screaming
[Chorus]
Maybe I should think of something else
Maybe I should think a little less about myself
I don't believe anything you say
But it sure is nice to have a place to stay
[Verse 2]
You reply, you say, "So do I"
In some misguided attempt to validate me
You mean well, baby, I can tell
It's just you make me feel like I shouldn't be complaining
And I never thought that the demons I fought
Could be something someone might desire
I scratched my throat, rolled up a ten-dollar note
And then you spoke into my ear and it sounded just like a choir
[Chorus]
Maybe I should think of something else
Maybe I should think a little less about myself
I don't believe anything you say
Though it sure is nice to have a place to go
[Outro]
Oh, it all means nothing
But all these promises are only half of what you're breaking
When you take the quick fix, take the easy way
