lyrics

hey will toledo, I heard that song
about doing acid in, what was that, was that a college town?
I hadn't heard a verse that hit that quick in so long.

hey will toledo, you'll never hear this one,
but if you did, I'd have to ask you,
does success feel just as wrong as any supposedly fun psychotropic drug?

then again, how would I know?
I'm in my office cubicle while you're sprinting from the venue to your van.
are you tired, too, of answering demands?

I bet the compliments don't mean a thing anymore,
but any criticism, it still stings.

I met Laura Jane Grace at the trumbullplex,
I was sincere in hoping my words would make an impact
when I told her in my youth she inspired me to write lyrics
that made better sense-

but she just let slip a sarcastic smile,
like she'd heard all that shit before, and, nevertheless,
I knew that both she knew and I knew, oh goddamn right she had.

I bet the compliments don't mean a thing anymore,
but any criticsm, it still stings-

but will, I need to know,
do you change the lyrics to your songs when you play them live
because you're scared you might get bored?

and are you ever too concerned that whatever you're writing next
just won't land the same as what you wrote before?

cause whether you're exhausted now from several weeks on tour,
or having a panic attack in an office cubicle,
work's just work no matter how you cut it,

but we can still trade places if you want it.
