We Used To Vacation x Cold War Kids

from The Indie Experiment Volume 1 by Cee

/

about

Because my aim was to stick to the topics of each track, I ran with the story of We Used To Vacation, taking the same role as the singer and elaborating on his life. Nothing was really taken from real life, but you never know.

lyrics

[Verse 1: Cee]
Uh, alarm screams so I snooze it,
Head ringing from the boozing, I'm woozy,
Gimme ten more minutes, I'mma be good,
Though I know I'm gonna be here longer than I should,
I gotta get my ass up, dog the cookies got me drowsy,
Scattered so I can't figure which way is the bathroom,
And I swear I'm 'bout to give this up,
It's so hard and for the missus man I'm trying just to give a fuck

[Verse: Cold War Kids]
I kissed the kids at noon
Then stumbled out the room
I caught a cab
Ran up a tab
On 7th and flower
Best recital I had to ruin
Missed my son's graduation
Punched the Nickles boy
For taking his seat
He gets all that anger from me

[Pre Hook: Cold War Kids]
Still things could be much worse
Natural disasters on the evening news
Still things could be much worse
We still got our health
My paycheck in the mail

[Hook: Cold War Kids]
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink
As long as I live
But even then
It sounds so soothing
This will blow over in time
This will all blow over in time

[Verse 2: Cee]
Yeah, and I swear she's getting over it,
Well, it's either that or she's over me,
I kinda push it just to see how it goes down,
But one of these days she's finna blow up and bounce out,
Uh, and my paycheck is coming in,
And the lights is staying on so I fuckin' win,
The beer fridge is never empty cuz,
It's the only little happiness I have, so what

[Verse: Cold War Kids]
I'm just an honest man
Provide for me and mine
I give a check to tax deductable
Charity organizations
Two weeks paid vacation
Won't heal the damage done
I need another one

[Pre Hook: Cold War Kids]
Still things could be much worse
Natural disasters on the evening news
Still things could be much worse
We still got our health
My paycheck in the mail

[Hook: Cold War Kids]
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink
As long as I live
But even then
It sounds so soothing
To mix a drink
And sink into oblivion
I promised to my wife and children
That accident
Left everyone a little shook up
But at the meetings
I felt so empty
This will blow over in time
This will all blow over in time

[Verse 3: Cee]
Uh on the real, I still believe that,
All my little mishaps, she delete that,
With no hard feelings, or some smart quips and,
We been through way too much just to start this shit,
Yeah and I reckon I'mma quit the piss,
But at least lemme have the weed, gimme this,
I'm a good man, I provide for y'all,
I ain't perfect so why apologise at all?
What? I fuck up just a little bit,
But I mean well so that's gotta count for shit,
I take her to the Caribbean every damn year,
Palm trees and sangria keeps the peace around here,
If she keeps this nonsense up, I'm finna dip,
Coz I swear I never signed up for this, Miss,
And I really don't need the damn stress, bitch,
But that's nothin' that a cold beer can't fix...
