Someone tipped the scales and watched the waters flood

They blew out all the windows, caked the walls with mud

And everybody knows when it hits in the south

That is a house that we have learned to live without.

And we don't sit down, what we do is get back up.

Let's learn to be alone together

Let's cry our fucking eyes out 'cause we know no one will care for us

Let's go home alone together

There goes the best damn summer that we ever spent

Drinking on the porch, rolling our own cigarettes

That was the best summer that we will ever have
Cm G Cm
And we believed it, we believed it, we believed it.

So won't you take me to the kitchen of your ex-wife's house?

Bore me with details of all the papers you've put out

That any line you use tonight will work

Because we're both as fucking broken as we look.

Let's cry our fucking eyes out 'cause we know no one will care for us

Let's go home alone together

Let's fuck and let's expect it when we don't feel any better.

Let's go home alone...

Let's go home alone...
