An Allusion to Happiness Lyrics by Ethan Cook

2020

[Chorus]
Everybody in the back put your hands up
Chug the beer or the water in your red cup
Past twelve and the neighbors gonna call the cops
But we know that we can't and we won't stop
Everybody in the back put your hands up
Chug the beer or the water in your red cup
Past twelve and the neighbors gonna call the cops
But we know that we can't and we won't stop
[Verse 1]
That girl from chem class you've been chatting up for six months
Now's your chance to make a move and try and hit it up
The party scene is something new to you but don't be scared
Just do your best to blend it in and try and keep your mouth shut
The air is foggy and the drinks are flowing everywhere
You take your cup and fill it high
But you can't remember why
The house is shaking, I wonder if you even know that I am there
This ain't the type of place for me, I came for you but you can't hear
I say your name above the noise, in hopes you'll notice that I call
Called out to you, but you're with a guy all pressed up up against the wall
[Chorus]
Everybody in the back put your hands up
Chug the beer or the water in your red cup
Past twelve and the neighbors gonna call the cops
But we know that we can't and we won't stop
Everybody in the back put your hands up
Chug the beer or the water in your red cup
Past twelve and the neighbors gonna call the cops
But we know that we can't and we won't stop
[Verse 2]
I'm puking in the bathroom, I don't know why I'm here
Surrounded by the noise of anxious people filled with fear
This party is a cover for a truth we cannot face
The future is uncertain, and our friends will be replaced
I gotta go home pack my bags and hit the road again
But that'll have to wait for tomorrow cause I'll be sober and I'll
Try to remember all the things I wish I said to you
How'd I screw up all the plans I thought would work out in the end
Before I found out that you didn't feel the same, and that's okay
But now I'm stuck with any empty cup, and I don't know what else to do
Yeah, I don't know what else to do
[Chorus]
Everybody in the back put your hands up
Chug the beer or the water in your red cup
Past twelve and the neighbors gonna call the cops
But we know that we can't and we won't stop
Everybody in the back put your hands up
Chug the beer or the water in your red cup
Past twelve and the neighbors gonna call the cops
But we know that we can't and we won't stop
Everybody in the back put your hands up
Chug the beer or the water in your red cup
Past twelve and the neighbors gonna call the cops
But we know that we can't and we won't stop
And we won't stop
