Josie Lyrics

Sitting in a kiddy chair

Was it always so small in there

Come on in, you're not welcome

But have a seat

Breaking into petty crime

Leading always was a skill of mine

But now I'm here

That has no effect on me

Is this what closure feels like?

It's so painful, and it's so funny, it's neutral in my mind

Butterfly effects ring so loud here

It's clear as a bell, and it's funny as hell

I don't belong

Here

I'm painfully sober, recess is over

Don't you hear the bells?

Don't you

Hear?

I'm finally older, playtime is over

I can mourn without Josie here

Seeing all my favorite spots

Tomatoes bloom and pumpkins rot

Close the gate before they catch us

In the time machine

Heads will roll if they find us here

Incriminating grins from ear to ear

Empty threats for when they find us here again

Is this what grown up feels like?

It's so ancient, and it's too young

It's so heavy, it's so fun

And chase us out all you want

It's clear as a bell, and it's painful as hell

I don't belong

Here

I'm painfully sober, and recess is over

Don't you hear the bells?

Don't you

Hear?

I'm finally older, playtime is over

I can mourn without Josie here

Sometimes the crushing weight

Of holding Josie close

The slick of childhood tears

Is getting a bit too old

Don't you find it's

Harder to move on

When the worst of what they've said

Is in your arms?

Here

I'm painfully sober, and recess is over

Don't you hear the bells?

Don't you

Hear?

I'm finally older, playtime is over

I can mourn without Josie

Here

I'm painfully, luckily

I can mourn without Josie
