your little white car looks like a rental
& it‘s stalled at the Sav-On coz the starter‘s temperamental
call your boyfriend it goes to voice mail leave a message baby get me please
wait at the laundromat read a magazine
tear out the page with the picture of some shoes you get impatient go to a cafe
see a girl from your high school but you look away
you take your coffee black the way your mother would one packet Sweet‘N Low one packet sugar your boyfriend texts you he‘s sorry that he‘s late he didn‘t hear the ring he‘s on his way
you take your cough drops you call them hoarse pills but they won‘t help anything if you keep smoking go to a movie go to the rodeo
ride the train with the vagrants & watch the buildings fall away

as someone with a sort of shitty relationship with christmas, listening to advance base (particularly this album) as well as Owen's christmas specials have been my own little way of celebrating the season <3 tulpa toad
The Cleveland band temper uncompromising metalcore breakdowns with infectious jangle-pop melodies and ample dark humor.

Beautiful songwriting, less is so much more. I don't know how someone could make a record so catchy while also being heartbreaking in a fun way. rahlinrigsby
