Everybody That Loves You
[Verse 1]
Roll down the windows, Chris, I'm gonna turn this song up
I know it's hella early but I don't give a fuck
When it's eighty degrees and you're at the beach
You gotta sway with the breeze, you gotta sway with the breeze
[Verse 2]
And on the 8 AM flight home there's a girl about my age
Highlighting psalms in her bible in the seat that's next to me
And I wonder when she comes home is it to a family?
And if she needed a breather but just ended up lonely
[Chorus 1]
'Cause everyone who loves you
Isn't always gonna be around to have your back but
Being kind of lonely for a second here or there
Is really really so much better than
Someone always poking you
They love you but they're always breathing down your neck
But every now and then somebody calls you up
And says "I'm coming back!"
[Bridge]
So I won't wake you when you're sleeping
I won't call you when I'm freaking out
Again, if you are busy
I won't take it personally
Even nerves of steel deserve a breather
Weight wears down the infrastructure
And hearts of gold can still feel lonely
If they don't know they're not the only ones
[Chorus 2]
Everyone who loves you
Isn't always gonna there breathing down your neck
But every now and then somebody calls you up
And says "I'm coming back!"
[Outro]
And everybody that loves you will be leaving some day soon
They've got problems to undo, they've got paperwork to do
When I show up at 6 AM, I hope somebody lets me in
I know I've been gone a long time, but you know I'm still your friend
And I hope you get the job that you've been looking for
You are a decent girl and you don't need this anymore
And yeah, I get that, for sure
And I hope that when I sit around
Watching snow collect in banks on the ground
That I don't get too down
Because you're not around
