lyrics

It's good to see people that love you
You know that you'll always care
But deep inside you feel like a different person
When you're there

Feels so good to be sentimental
You know you love to share a beer
But it's no fun selling yourself to someone
Who's known you for seventeen years

You didn't see a thing
You're still in the boxing ring
So keep your hands up
You're gonna have to swing
You didn't see a thing
You're still in the boxing ring
So hold your head high
It's gonna sting

Not all of your dead are really gone
Grown apart or just moved on
We've all got our conditions for trust
So keep your friends close or they become dust

But the best things in this life never get old
Making love in the morning or coffee in the cold
Money that you found laying around on the ground
The way you just dream
driving around with the windows down

You didn't see a thing
You're still in the boxing ring
So keep your hands up
You're gonna have to swing
You didn't see a thing
You're still in the boxing ring
So hold your head high
It's gonna sting

Paint On It recommends:

"Leave It"
by George

My favorite garage rock album I've heard in a long while. Sweet, funny, and fun vibes, even when it makes me want to wallop a punching bag with Kavanaugh's face taped to it. Paint On It

Breaking Skin
by RIKKI RAKKI

Deep and thrilling songs. The rockers make me want to thrash, and the ballads make me want to cry. It's all the more impressive this record is self-produced and self-mixed. This band rules. Paint On It

Don’t Stab Your Hand
by Knifing Around

Dance noise post-punk of the highest caliber. Sharp songwriting and production. Great live band too. Paint On It
