Nothings Here to Stay by Jacob Daley Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah
Ok well pour it out while I’m here, dog
This a toast to my years off
Texts that come on my birthday
Get shorter with every year, dog
We get twisted til daybreak
Can’t ‘member shit that I fear at all
Fuck ups, I had my fair share
Stood my ground when I was dead wrong
But I’ll follow my path wherever that go
Get a little more heartless as I fast forward
Maybe I’m a bad friend, maybe I’m an asshole
Tell me if I ever hurt you when we was that close
Maybe I could be a bit better with the text back
Could’ve called a couple more times when you was back home, dog
I got some things I could confess to y’all
But I’m tending to drift and then get less involved
[Pre-Chorus]
Always say “I hope you’re well”
Never ask “How you been?”
Memories all we have
Hope we didn’t peak as friends
You say you’ll visit soon
When things clear, we’ll meet again
Things we say for convenience
Acting like we ain’t reset
[Chorus]
That’s why I’m setting off tonight
Packing up my room
Sometimes you might not get goodbyes
Some promise you they see you soon
But I know nothing’s here to say
Everything will change
She’ll find someone to love her more
You’ll find some shelter for the rain
That’s why I’m stepping on a flight
Boarding on a train
Thinking ‘bout how we fell apart
It started fucking with my day
But I know nothing’s here to say
Everything will change
You’ll find someone to love you more
You’ll find some peace inside the pain
[Verse 2]
Ok I need my flowers for my whole shit
Kiss the box ‘fore they close it
Love me like it’s my last day
Promise me you won’t forget
Everything that I changed, dog
Put my life in your focus
Riding ‘round to my old shit
Riding ‘round to my own shit
Fuck you mean I ain’t big time?
Fuck you mean I ain’t blown yet?
I ain’t ate in like three days
Waking up in these cold sweats
Wanted this shit for so long
Lost a lot of my old friends
All– all because of my ego
All because I’m so selfish
Only friend is my whip, it never say shit
It just let me run ‘way
Only time that we talk is just to catch up
And chop up the old days
I just ain’t the same kid from when we had kicked it
I got this cold face
Eight months in my dorm room
Sleeping away my whole days
Mama I ain’t coming home soon
I need one ticket far away
I’m so scared to be a let down
I’m so scared of my old ways
Breaking down in the front seat
Asking me why the long face
Only giving more reasons
To worry you down to pieces
[Chorus]
That’s why I’m setting off tonight
Packing up my room
Sometimes you might not get goodbyes
Some promise you they see you soon
But I know nothing’s here to say
Everything will change
She’ll find someone to love her more
You’ll find some shelter for the rain
That’s why I’m stepping on a flight
Boarding on a train
Thinking ‘bout how we fell apart
It started fucking with my day
But I know nothing’s here to say
Everything will change
You’ll find someone to love you more
You’ll find some peace inside the pain
Yeah
Ok well pour it out while I’m here, dog
This a toast to my years off
Texts that come on my birthday
Get shorter with every year, dog

Can’t ‘member shit that I fear at all
