this was my favorite for a while and a lot of people have heard a way cooler version of it performed in a bathroom, which is on the sidebar somewhere for free
lyrics
i’m swinging upside down from the perch, wings outstretched
i’m gasping for water, flippin’ a shit on the shore
i’m nudging and ramming the side of this boat
and i am near you, and you are an asymptote
i broke into your house and found the door i had been looking for
but it’s been closed long before you knew what was in store
that’s what they told you to do, before you knew it’d ever stop you
so i’m jiggling this knob, but i’ll cancel the battering ram
the bar is set too high for me
and optimism ultimately fails
these broken personal promises
just show how my bitterness prevails
i don’t know how well i really know you
and i don’t know how to show how much you mean to me
but it’s too much for you (too much for anyone’s good)
you’re on this plinth and i cannot get you down
remember how i ran to your house one day
and i saw a shooting star—it broke up in the atmosphere
remember how you told me to flip a coin
i didn’t want to take the chance
i want to control this myself
but i flipped the fucker anyway
and saw the side i had not wanted to see
i saw the side i had not wanted to see
supported by 5 fans who also own “flipping/flipped”
This is just one of those albums that are in the perfect place at the perfect time. If you described it to me, I probably wouldn't listen to it, so just go listen to it. Seriously. You'll be glad you did. Morgan LaVigne
