The Circumstance Lyrics

I thank summer, I thank Venus

Thank a good excuse to see ya

Thank the traffic, need to kill time

Thank the taco trucks on Route 5

Thank the bar on Union St

For taking your shit fake id

Thank your friend's empty apartment

Just a stone's throw from the party

I thanked the circumstance

I wouldn't have you any other way

And you blamed the circumstance

You wouldn't have me any other way

I guess that's what happens when

You leave it up to chance

It only lasts as long as the circumstance

You blame summer, you blame corporate

Blame Connecticut and boredom

You blame closeness, lack of options

Everyone else was obnoxious

Blame your youth and spotty wisdom

You blame me for being with you

Blame your friend's empty apartment

Being lonely on the carpet

I thanked the circumstance

I wouldn't have you any other way

And you blamed the circumstance

You wouldn't have me any other way

I guess that's what happens when

You leave it up to chance

It only lasts as long as the circumstance

Maybe stars align but they keep moving don't they

Maybe perfect timing's not a sign at all

Maybe I never knew who you were

Til it didn't come easy and you put yourself first

And you act ashamed while I wear your name

Like a badge on my coat, even now, even though

I thanked the circumstance

I wouldn't have you any other way

And you blamed the circumstance

You wouldn't have me any other way

I guess that's what happens when

You leave it up to chance

It only lasts as long as

It only lasts as long as the circumstance

Ooooo, oooooo
