lyrics

It's 4pm on a Friday
And I get the text from my friends
Let's go out for drinks,
Let's have a night

But lately I've been feeling too tired to do much
I'm burnt out from the work week
And studying for days

And it's true that I miss you,
But every time I get some time
I catch up on my sleep or my shows

If it helps you to know
I never agreed to this

What's one more weekend underground
I can make up when I'm less busy
We'll have a night we'll paint the town
Maybe when I've turned fucking forty

But as it stands when I think about you
I'll pour one out with cheers
To absent friends
To the both of us

We'll the distance always gets to me
And it's even worse with you away
I kept every letter you wrote to me
And fall asleep to your Pinback CDs

But to get from here to where you are
Would take at least three flights
To cross 9 states in 2300 miles
I'm not trying to be dramatic,
But the distance gets to me

What's one more weekend underground
I can make up when I'm less busy
I'll pick up the phone if I'm in town
I hope you know, I'd love to see ya

But as it stands when I think about you I'll
Drink a couple of beers
To absent friends to the both of us

And I know I'm hard to pin down but with you gone
Things are too quiet for my tastes
And these sleepless towns could use some nightlife
I'm going out of style
And I wanted to know
If you'd go out with me
One last time,
The next time I'm in town

What's one more weekend above ground
If I've got no more plans than you do
Work is busy and I'm burnt out
And, you know, distance gets to you
But if I'd know
It was you at the end of these flights
I could have rode three planes
With a smile
