lyrics

I see the headlights coming
And I see the red light stalling
But I got two feet in the crosswalk
And I’m gonna start whether you start stopping or not
I got my headphones in
Listening to something sick
So if die now then my body will flail
In sync with my favorite riffs
But I just want
To make it across
So I can buy a seltzer
Drink it in the parking lot

Well I just made it
Thank god for the bus that waited
If not than I’d have been smooshed
My blood and guts all in the pavement
And it’d be a tragedy
That my dear bubbly drink
No sugar or calories
Would have been completely wasted

When I leave my house
I walk down hills
Unlike any I’ve ever seen
When I walk back up
My leg muscles melt
But I’d climb Everest for a seltz

Fizzy fruit knocks me back
From the can when I crack
Sends me on a sunny Sunday walk
Through a shady grove
Lemon trees and grapefruit seas
Appear in front of me
My mouth awash with flavor as I’m knockin’ back my favorite
Makes me wanna savor it
But I always cave to it
Knockin’ back a pack
My seltzer drinking’s dangerous

When I leave my house
I walk down hills
Unlike any I’ve ever seen
When I walk back up
My leg muscles melt
But I’d climb Everest for a seltz

I got no seltzer in my house
I’m freakin’ out, I’m freakin’ out

When I leave my house
I walk down hills
Unlike any I’ve ever seen
When I walk back up
My leg muscles melt
But I’d climb Everest for a seltz
