Dive bar, dart board
You're twenty-five minutes late
I eavesdrop on a second date
You walk in, I open
It's been too long, how long's it been?
Monologue begins
I thought about this melody the whole damn time
I see your mouth moving but your words vaporize
You like to hear yourself talk, I don't blame you
On my better days, I do it too
Don't be addicted to telling the truth
White lie, big smile, I'll do it for you
If you wait a minute I could let you in
Start shooting the shit
We're sixteen again
Edgewise, I'm bad at it
Why don't I make an opening?
It's a two way thing (it's a two way thing)
Why have I thought about this melody the whole damn time?
I start to move my mouth, but my words vaporize
You like to hear yourself talk, I don't blame you
On my better days, I do it too
Don't be addicted to telling the truth
White lie, big smile, I'll do it for you
You like to hear yourself talk
You like to hear yourself talk
You like to hear yourself talk
You like to hear yourself talk

I haven't heard anything as just completely perfectly formed out of the gate--every decision the right one, what to include but more what to exclude--maybe ever. Don't know who Sault is, but they do not sound like they could be anyone who hasn't paid some dues to get this good. Or signed some Satanic contracts. 100% confidence, and it sounds 110% earned.
