Onset Lyrics by Dewey Decimal

2023

[Intro]
My psyche bruises like a peach
I can hardly believe how disappointing knowing you turned out to be

[Verse 1]
The sun dipped behind your frown
You started walking away before I’d turned around
You left me there at the courthouse
I said to myself, “I’ll see you around.”
I stood and stared at the ground
Wishing I could sink in deep and drown
I tried to formulate a plan
It came out as if I’d drawn it with my left hand

[Chorus 1]
So, I went away—does that mean you don’t love me, or think of me that way?
If I had stayed, would you take me for granted every day?

[Verse 2]
I wake up, but don’t know thе day
I open another bottle of hеadache Rosé
I walk onto my porch and sit
I smoke a cig, and eat a tube of Ritz
I’m tired of feeling like shit
I want to move on with my life, but can’t manage it
The prairie is covered in fog
It will be 5 months until it burns off

[Chorus 2]
Yeah, I went away—I guess that means you don’t love me, or think of me that way
If I had stayed, you’d take me for granted every goddamn day

[Bridge]
But, I can’t stop thinking about picking the colors of the walls of our house with you
Or what I’d do to surprise you for our fifth anniversary. I hope you like it
I can’t stop missing you when I’m lying sleepless starring at the ceiling fan
I’m longing for the union of the back of my neck and your small hand again
I’m letting the dog out after work, apologizing when I am a jerk
Protecting you from all of the world’s hurt because you’re just far too...
