lyrics

I look across the table
‘Cause I know what’s not allowed
Got a burger in my hands
And a beer to wash it down

Making light of passing time
But you know you’re getting old
Will excuses take control
When we get to the next bar?

Is this casual enough for you baby?
Enough pressure off of you now, maybe?

Take your mezcal in a paper cup
And you say you can’t imagine
Having any other drink
But I know that you don’t mean it.

When you feel small it’s not enough
You’re dragging me along
Going through the motions
We thought we had unlearned

Is this casual enough for you baby?
Enough pressure off of you now, maybe?
You still get me how you want me
Then show me to the door
Tell me, is this casual enough for you?

So go on let me go
I’m not the one you want
You keep needing more
When I’ve got nothing left.
I’ve got nothing left.
