Montreal

by Penelope Scott

on The Junkyard 2 (2020)

[VERSE 1]
You got four for Thanksgiving
Twenty one for the Lord
I haven't counted in a while
It might be a few more

And there's seven days for spring
And maybe one more in between
And then on top of all the everything
Assuming I survive
Another 90 day summer's gonna take
My fucking life

[Chorus]
And I would rather die
And let me make it clear
It's nobody's fault
But I think we all know
That I won't make it to Montreal

And I would rather die
I'll jump before I'll fall
And I'm having lots of fun
But I won't make it Montreal

[VERSE 2]
I've five pretty skirts
I've got sweaters in drawers
I've got a nice big blanket
And carpeted floors

I've got lovers on lovers
Friends on friends
The fucking fun just never ends

[VERSE 3]
You like to talk about the future
As if it's real
And when you tell me that you love me
I can almost feel it

But the wires don't connect
Your blood has been rejected
And it doesn't even matter
If I make it through the night
Because another fucking summer's gonna take
My fucking life

[Chorus]
And I'd just rather die
It's boredom overall
And I'm having lots of fun
But I won't make it to Montreal

And I don't wanna die
But I'll jump before I'll fall
And did you really think so?
I mean no one fucking thought I'd make it to Montreal

[VERSE 4]
It's not that it's a bad plan
No, the plan fucking slapped
I was so excited you don't know
How bad

I wanted all of it
The coffee shop, the weather, the apartment
But I don't want anything anymore
I don't know
I guess I just got bored
It doesn't matter where the trolley goes this time
Because soon enough the summer's gonna take
My fucking life

[Chorus]
And I would rather die
And let me make it clear
It's nobody's fault
But I think we all know
That I won't make it to Montreal

And I don't wanna die
I don't wanna get left behind
But it's better half than none
I hope to god you have some fun

[VERSE 5]
Go get laid in Montreal
The world's so big and
I'm too small
You guys are different
You could have it all
I hope you make it to Montreal
