Verse 1
The asphalt tastes like cheap regret and stale cologne
Another four a.m. staring at a phone
I know the number I should call, the number I should block
But the comfort of the crash is ticking like a clock
Same old ending, different night, same familiar shade of grey
Guess I enjoy the fallout, 'cause I never walk away.
Chorus
Oh, I'm waiting for the credits 'cause the High School Never Ends!
Just a grown-up version of ditching all your friends.
Yeah, Misery's My Company, she buys me all the drinks,
Stares me down and whispers, "This is exactly what you think."
We made a pact back on the bleachers, stupid as it sounds,
To keep on digging holes in the same familiar grounds.
I'm walking proof that a lifetime's too short
To learn a lesson from the mess you just can't abort!
Verse 2
I saw the sign that said "Turn Back," I read it twice in neon
I said, "No thanks, I've got a date with a self-destructing demon."
Every single warning light is flashing red and blinding
But maybe the disaster's just the only peace I'm finding.
It's easy to be angry, it's easier to whine,
And every time I try to climb out, I trip on the safety line.
Chorus
Oh, I'm waiting for the credits 'cause the High School Never Ends!
Just a grown-up version of ditching all your friends.
Yeah, Misery's My Company, she buys me all the drinks,
Stares me down and whispers, "This is exactly what you think."
We made a pact back on the bleachers, stupid as it sounds,
To keep on digging holes in the same familiar grounds.
I'm walking proof that a lifetime's too short
To learn a lesson from the mess you just can't abort!
Bridge
They tell me to grow up! Say "face the consequence!"
But I already booked a room inside my own defense!
It's a perfect loop, a well-rehearsed descent,
And the chaos is the only way I know I'm still relevant!
My company! My company! Yeah, this disaster's all mine!
My company! My company! It's the only place I shine!
Chorus
Oh, I'm waiting for the credits 'cause the High School Never Ends!
Just a grown-up version of ditching all your friends.
Yeah, Misery's My Company, she buys me all the drinks,
Stares me down and whispers, "This is exactly what you think."
We made a pact back on the bleachers, stupid as it sounds,
To keep on digging holes in the same familiar grounds.
I'm walking proof that a lifetime's too short
To learn a lesson from the mess you just can't abort!
Outro
...Never ends.
Misery's my company...
