Intro

    
    

Verse

Something 'bout the window seats got you feeling like a poet
You said I think that we had everything but 'til now, just didn't know it
I'm leaning towards a subject change in a sentimental moment
We're driving through the Garden State, we'll be strangers in the morning

Verse

The way you've got your hair up straight makes you look real Californian
You know you never really could quite place when I'm angry and I'm joking
I'm cursing every exit sign and my damn Christ-like devotion
To hoping you might change your mind, and to hating you for going

Pre-Chorus

Roadkill fawn, you said how sad
Left to rot alone like that
You state a feeling like a fact
I'm glad you left, but you'll be back

Chorus

So call me when it goes to shit
I'll be keeping the house the way it was
I won't rub your face in it
I swear I won't tell anyone
I don't mind being your dead end
Think it's fine to never move on
Keep my ear up to the door-frame
And I'll keep rooting for your downfall
And I'll keep rooting for your downfall

Verse

Call me when the bugs don't die and spring looks just like autumn
Oh tell me when you miss the climb from a hole that has no bottom
I'm hoping that the view ain't nice, that the streetlights bleed into your bedroom
That you open up to someone kind, and they hold it all against you

Pre-Chorus

Roadkill fawn, you said how sad
Left to rot alone like that
You state a feeling like a fact
I'm glad you left, but you'll be back

Chorus

So call me when it goes to shit
I'll be keeping the house the way it was
I won't rub your face in it
I swear I won't tell anyone
I don't mind being your dead end
Think it's fine to never move on
Keep my ear up to the door-frame
And I'll keep rooting for your downfall
And I'll keep rooting for your downfall

Chorus

So call me when it goes to shit
I'll be keeping the house the way it was
I won't rub your face in it
Swear I won't tell anyone
I don't mind being your dead end
Think it's fine to never move on
Keep my ear up to the door-frame
And I'll keep rooting for your downfall
And I'll keep rooting for your downfall
I'll keep rooting for your downfall

Outro

N.C.
Oh I'll keep rooting for your downfall
