Asymmetrical Bangs Pt. I
01:26

You were sitting outside the venue in New Haven
You dyed your hair blue when your boyfriend broke up with you
To be a crackhead in Vermont or something
And you asked to bum a cigarette
And then I handed you an American Spirit
And then our fingers touched and we fell in love
Asymmetrical bangs that you cut yourself
Asymmetrical bangs
You go to art school
Asymmetrical bangs that goes to house shows

Is this a Phoebe Bridgers song
Or a fall or winter car commercial
Is this an introspective psalm
Or a cover of "Creep" for a movie trailer
Every heart is the same thing
The crying still hits the same way
Is this a Phoebe Bridgers song
Or a fall or winter car commercial
It's been a hard year for everyone
But it doesn't go nearly as hard as these savings do
69% APR financing with $6999 down and payments starting as low as $699.99 a month
A girl with a hijab drinking Pepsi
Penguins slowly waddling across climate change-ravaged landscapes
69 penguins mauling each other to death over one can of Pepsi
This year has been so hard on everyone
So do yourself a favor
And buy yourself a 2010 Kia Soul
You piece of shit
Is this a Phoebe Bridgers song
Or a fall or winter car commercial
And I don't get what's overrated
If you like it, I'm probably gonna hate it while it's new
I hate the Beatles too
And I don't care what's overrated
If you like it, I'm probably gonna hate it while it's new
I hate the Beatles
Is this a Phoebe Bridgers song
Or a fall or winter car commercial
(Kia, Kia, Kia, Kia Soul)

DIY Show

I saw you at the DIY Show
You were smoking a cigarette
You had a menthol Pall Malls
Those are such good cigarettes
D-I-Y Show, DIY Show
I saw you at the Instagram Show
You were smoking a cigarette
You said you couldn't pay to get in
As you held a mid-tier six pack
D-I-Y Show, DIY Show
But you'll always be with him
I went over to your boyfriend's house
Cause I needed to murder him
I told him he was going to die
He said, "No wait, please hear me out"
"I have so much debt in student loans, and when I die, it goes to my parents, which would be such a dick move"
I said, "Well, why didn't you get the FAFSA?"
He said, "Obviously, I got the FAFSA. I have a combination of federal and private student loans, and the private ones are way less forgiving and have super high interest rates."
When I murdered your boyfriend, all of his student loan debt went to his parents
They had to prorate their Social Security, which was their only source of income
Until they themselves died
And then we made a baby (ooooh)

Oh boy, when you wake up,
Thinking, "What did I do?"
Well it's not that thing
It's you
Oh boy, when you wake up
And it's a quarter past two
Well, the world won't wait
Won't wait for you
I waited so long expecting that you could have changed
How deranged
I waited so long to languish at home with a donkey brain
Wake, bake
Oh boy, when you wake up,
Thinking, "What did I do?"
Well, it's not that thing
It's you

We were living on infinite dream,
listening to Prince Daddy and the Hyena all the time
It's so cool that we listen to all the same bands
I know way more about DIY music than you do
You think it's so attractive how smart I am, and I always correct you when you are wrong
And you are cool with me being poly, but it's only when I'm on tour
That's so cool
Asymmetrical bangs that you cut yourself
Asymmetrical bangs
You go to art school
Asymmetrical bangs that goes to house shows
My bitch stepmom made me take my medication today, and now I can't find you
You were a hallucination, a sign of my unrealistic expectations and impossible standards that I set for women
But now I'm going to write a song where I'm the sympathetic character
And everyone will tell me that I am great because I have the body of a 12-year old with the unconstrained libido of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
Asymmetrical bangs that you cut yourself
Asymmetrical bangs
You go to art school
Asymmetrical bangs that goes to house shows

Cro-Magnon Chad

Older Chad, the gains were had
But you still do that thing to me
In twenty years, Cro-Magnon Chad built the tools to purge you away
It's Ben Button regression
When you do that thing to me
In twenty years, Cro-Magnon Chad built the tools to purge you away
Whichever way the arrow bows,
the desperation checks me in the throat
Bending like an arid stick
So pliable it makes me sick

This song smells like early morning fog
Before heading to school, and you're eleven all over again
Imagine how easy life would be
If you were confident, the thought knowing you could improvise every mistake you make
Sometimes I wish I could just rewind and take the risks
Girls are so busy being girls
To be a girl is so difficult
This is so human in a beautiful way
The world will never be like this again
I'm scared I'll never get that feeling back
Something about this is just in one word: cute
Not sure why
This makes me want to cry because I'm growing up so fast
I should tell my parents that I love them
Does anyone want to be my friend
We can have that cool teenage friendship that everyone wants
Sarah is honestly such a pretty name
If you really think about it, yeah, it's a little basic
But it's beautiful to hear and say
Is Alex G the guy who made "Crazy Frog"

Every time
We watch Garden State at night
TV volume's 80%
and 180 dB when shit explodes
I'm sure you'd like to know
Every time
Yeah, the Shins are cool
But have you heard of Tool
I'm oppressed by Big Dynamic Range
Tool would never have this issue
It's like mixing for the album
It just makes you a whole lot louder
Louder is always better
So brickwall my shit, fam
Louder is always better
So brickwall my shit, fam
