Lyrics 9/10 - Jeff Rosenstock

9/10

Every night you go to bed
You wake up just a little more in pain
Every time you’re dressing for a sunny day
The clouds surprise you with rain
Every cigarette you smoke
'Cause you’re addicted to a quiet source of company
Every time you told 'em you were busy
'Cause you’d rather go to sleep
9 times out of 10 I’ll be stoned on the subway
Reading backlit directives of what I should do
Dodging eye contact with anyone who looks my way
9 times out of 10 I’ll be thinking of you
Every little victory don’t matter
If nobody seems to care
Winning ten bucks on a scratch-off lotto ticket
The keys you thought disappeared
Every vacant moment you’ve exhausted all the options
That you thought could fill the hole
Every star you’re wishing on
Just hoping for a little self-control
Tired of feeling selfish
Tired of feeling restless
Tired of feeling down
9 times out of 10 I’ll be stoned on the subway
Reading backlit directives of what I should do
Dodging eye contact with anyone who looks my way
9 times out of 10 I’ll be thinking of you
I’m so out of place when I can’t be with you
If I don’t see your face
It’s almost like I missed you
Don’t see your face, it’s almost like I missed you
It’s almost like I miss you
It’s almost like I miss you
9 times out of 10 I’ll be stoned on the subway
Reading backlit directives of what I should do
Dodging eye contact with anyone who looks my way
9 times out of 10 I’ll be thinking of you
