Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sunburn on my neck Cheap chair sinking in the yard Foam rings on the table Like little ghosts of what was ours You said you'd be right back That was three long years ago Now it’s just me and this bottle And a sky that’s too bright to hold [Chorus] Warm beer Cold world Sweat running down my throat Laugh track from the neighbors Can’t quite reach this porch It’s summertime But I’m barely alive The heat is shining On a life I can’t revive [Verse 2] Radio in the window Playing songs from ’95 Every chord is a memory Every word cuts me twice Flip-flops on the concrete Someone’s kids are yelling names I remember wanting future Now I just rewind the same old tapes [Chorus] Warm beer Cold world Sweat running down my throat Laugh track from the neighbors Can’t quite reach this porch It’s summertime But I’m barely alive The heat is shining On a life I can’t revive [Bridge] I raise this can To the kid I used to be (hey…) Who thought by now He’d finally be free All I got Is this plastic chair and sky And the quiet little wish For a colder night [Chorus] Warm beer Cold world Sweat running down my throat Laugh track from the neighbors Can’t quite reach this porch It’s summertime But I’m barely alive The heat is shining On a life I can’t revive Warm beer Cold world And I drink to stay alive
