Well you look real dashing in your dollar-store aviators
Even though it's not sunny under the grain elevators
I'm drunk on black vodka and your sunset eyes
You're drunk on boxed wine and that other girl's lies
In a co-op off Creighton we retreated to the basement
Where a green bulb burned to the base of its filament
With dirt on our hems and the sun in our hearts
Our façades they did bend and on cue fell apart
And we all clapped along
To each other's songs
We knew she would be the biggest deal
And we all sang along
To feelings disguised as songs
Cause on the weekend we were equal
With the sound too low on a TV inside a glass case
Her Mom jumps on the lawn and Coco plays the bass
For years I've been trying to coax that look from your face
Her dad downstrokes a guitar and Coco plays the bass
And we all clapped along
To each other's songs
We knew Jenn would be the biggest deal
And we all sang along
To feelings disguised as songs
In second-hand shirts and last-ditch courage
We kept our heads down till Sunday morning
Cause on the weekend we were equal
Well you look real dashing in your dollar-store aviators
As the sun's comin' up over the grain elevators
