Pitchfork - Arms Akimbo

There’s a come-up waiting in the come-down

There’s a tab that’s freaking me out

And if I wanted some help, I could get it myself

It’s just me and my lighter for now

Well if we’re patient then we’ll make it eventually

That’s what I’m learning when we’re out on the road

But it’s tough to leave town when I’m letting her down

Hope she wants me when I make it back home

But it’s cold in West New Mexico

I’m thinking 'bout the text she wrote

And how I always let love slip away

I’m never gonna love you the same

I’ll always be the boy in the band

Waiting for my record to break

Waiting with my head in the sand

Well, we’re alone here on the phone but it’s quiet now

It gets harder when there’s nothing to fight about

We could fake it 'til we’re changing our attitude

But the change would probably scare the hell out of you

Well I’m older now, I’m learning how

The things I want can let me down

I hope this song eventually goes my way

I’m never gonna love you the same

I’ll always be the boy in the band

Waiting for my record to break

Waiting with my head in the sand

I’m never gonna love you the same

I’ll always be the boy in the band

Waiting for my record to break

Waiting with my head in the sand

Need to play cause I can’t get your attention

Without a stage and at least a Pitchfork mention

A billion plays and a record deal in place

Say you’ll love me when I take the band on tour
