Depression Lyrics

They said to give up

And to grow up

That my songs make them wanna throw up

That I'm not original

Or catchy, or clever, or smart

They said my guitar would sound better

At the bottom of the Ohio River

That I should get a job

At the Route 51 KMart

And sometimes I think I might agree with

My old friends that don't call me anymore

To hang out or catch up or go drink beer

And maybe I am not the same

Thank God that I am not the same

And I hope to be weirder than this

This time next year

With friends like that who needs friends

When you have seasonal depression

In Western Pennsylvania, or anywhere

You're afraid to just be yourself

Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck here

Trapped in the wrong year

Like an empty pack of cigarettes

Like an endless bill called college debt

And I don't know when I first started feeling so alone

Like how everyone else has a place and I simply don't

And sometimes you wake up in your 30's

Take a look around

And realize that you're lucky not to be a ghost in a ghost town

With friends like that who needs friends

When you have seasonal depression

In Western Pennsylvania, or anywhere

You're afraid to just be yourself

Sometimes I think that I'll die here

Sometimes that's alright

Sometimes those words haunt me

And cut me like a butter knife

And if your friends are assholes

Then you're better off alone

Or you can go make new friends at the retirement home

Or you can move to Hazelwood and I will be your friend

And we can make a record in our brand new punk rock band

With friends like that who needs friends

When you have seasonal depression

In Western Pennsylvania, or anywhere...

Anywhere
