Couch Lyrics by Joseph Cook

American Teenager

2016

[Hook: Joseph Cook]
Late nights sleeping on the couch
Trying to think about a way out
Fighting with myself and all my doubts
Fighting with the mirrors in my house

Scared that I ain't gonna make it out
Scared that I'm a' only see the house
Scared that I'm a' end up on the couch
TV gon' distract me from my doubts

We gon' tear this motherfucker down, yeah
Ima break up outta momma house, yeah
We gon burn this motherfucker down, yeah
I won't burn inside of momma house, no

I done lost too many days to count, yeah
I won't lose no more in momma house, no
I won't lose no more days on that couch, no
My story ain't gon' end in momma house, no

[Verse 1: Joseph Cook]
They said I'm on the path to burning out
Least I ain't gon' burn out on that couch
Least I ain't gon' finish in that house
Least I ain't gon' finish when I'm down

Least I ain't gon' finish on the ground
Still be rocking out when in the ground
Catch me in the casket breaking out
As long as I ain't buried on that couch

That boy with the demons talking loud
That boy with the demons wild out
I done got my demons quiet now
I been putting words back in mouths

That boy with the kids weighing pounds
That boy with the kids doing brown
That boy's only bound to burn out
As long as i don't burn out on that couch, no

(I done spent too many...)

[Hook: Joseph Cook]
Late nights sleeping on the couch
Trying to think about a way out
Fighting with myself and all my doubts
Fighting with the mirrors in my house

Scared that I ain't gonna make it out
Scared that I'ma only see the house
Scared that I'ma end up on the couch
TV gon' distract me from my doubts

We gon' tear this motherfucker down, yeah
Ima break up outta momma house, yeah
We gon' burn this motherfucker down, yeah
I won't burn inside of momma house, no

I done lost too many days to count, yeah
I won't lose no more in momma house, no
I won't lose no more days on that couch, no
My story ain't gon' end in momma house, no

[Bridge: Joseph Cook]
I'ma break up outta momma house
I ain't gon' be dreaming on that couch
I'ma break my dreams up out that house
I'ma get my dreams up off that couch
