Gap Year Lyrics by The Bantams

Gettysburg Sorority

2019

[Verse 1]
You called me from a shore town
While i paced around the porch just
Trying to figure out weekends you'd come back home
My tuesday it was mundane
And now I miss the fridays
In your backyard hoping, smiling, with The Cure playing louder than
It had to be
Until my ransom temper brings an empty feeling
When I'm trying to sleep
It hasn't cut so deep
But not for a lack of trying to
Pacify the signs, and
Pacify my mind
Running away to get some sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Spewing bullshit I love to hear
I was cold the sky was clear-ly
Trying to alert me to settle down
And not answer prematurely
Lying here, fragments of those
Memories invade my thoughts subconsciously
So promise me these next few months i will not lose control
[Chorus]
I miss you here. please come home
Fourty-five days in bed alone
Wishing you could come over tonight
Is it a waste of time and
I don't know how to reply
Should I conjure words that move and serpentine around the point I Want to make that
I like you
Crawling to
The edges of my brain for a clever line to say but
Nothing's coming now
So I'll just slow down
No point in figuring out what's the right thing to do
I'll say a goodbye and I just
[Chorus]
And I'll just stop
Crawling to
The edges of my brain for a clever line to say but
Nothing's coming now
So I'll just slow down
No point in figuring out what's the right thing to do
I'll say a goodbye and I'll just
Stop (I miss you here, please come home)
Crawling to (Forty-five days in bed alone)
The edges of my brain for a clever line to say but (Wishing you could come over tonight)
Nothing's coming now (Is it a waste of time and)
So I'll (I don't know how to reply)
Just slow down (Should i conjure words that move and serpentine)
No point in figuring out what's the right thing to do (around the point I want to make)
I'll say a goodbye and I'll just (That I like)
[Post-Chorus]
I'll meet you halfway or something
So I can see my friends
A hundred miles from that backyard
Where I always thought I'd be this year
