[Verse 1]
A house without a piano
Just a stereo
I used to play but now I’ve
Got this stereo
You brought it with you when you moved in
So we would never be alone
Always something in the background

[Chorus 1]
And I’m always almost punched
But I escape
With just a hint of a black eye
And we’re always almost over
But then we wake up
And it’s already one o’clock

[Post-Chorus 1]
And I hope I can change
I hope I can change
But oh my god
It’s so hard
And what if this
Is who I am

(It's not our fault that the cops are assholes)
[Verse 2]
Forte without piano
Never stop complaining
It’s what I love about you
You never stop complaining
Next step is buckets out
When we start raining
Let’s go out tonight
Because our home is falling apart

[Chorus 2]
And you’re always almost punched
But you escape
With just a hint of a black eye
And we’re always almost over
But then we wake up
And it’s already two o’clock

[Post-Chorus 2]
And I hope I can change
People are dying, I hope I can change
But oh my god
It’s so hard
And what if this
Is who I am
[Bridge]
(Remember when I made jokes?
The joke’s on you, motherfucker
I never made any jokes
I meant every single word)

If home is where I go to die
If home is where I go to die

[Chorus 3]
And we’re always almost punched
But we escape
With just a hint of a black eye
And I’m always almost sober
By the time I have to drive you back home
And we’re always almost over
And then we are
And we’re always almost over
And then we are

[Outro]
And I hope I can change
I am dying, I hope I can change
But oh my god
It’s so hard
And what if this
Is who I am
