Poems and Closing Time Songtext
von Zach Bryan

Well, I′ve been over drinkin'
′Cause I've been overthinkin'
′Cause I get so damn anxious at night
Chemicals and nicotine, friends ask "How you been?"
And you just learn to say you′re alright

Poems and closin' time, oh, sweet love of mine
I found it so hard to find truth
Poems and closin′ time, oh, sweet love of mine
It'll always just be me and you

And those bastards get richer
While the poor dig ditches
To bury their dreamin′ in
And labour don't cheat
Baby, 5 a.m. is the reason they′re sleepin' in


Oh, men build churches
So the kids find worth in
Somethin' bigger than themselves
But the uncorruptible don′t exist
And you can′t buy your way outta Hell

Closin' time
I′m lost again past two
Closin' time
It′ll always just be me and you

And I've been over drinkin′
'Cause I've been overthinkin′
′Cause I get so damn anxious at night
Chemicals and nicotine, friends ask me how I've been
You just learn to say you′re alright

Poems and closin' time, oh, sweet love of mine
I found it so hard to find truth
Poems and closin′ time, only true friend of mine
It'll always just be me and you

So don′t try to pain me and don't try play me
As one of your sorry fools
Poems and closin' time, oh, sweet love of mine
In a world that′s growin′ so cruel
