Lyrics Jeff Rosenstock

Jeff Rosenstock

Polar Bear Or Africa

As I desaturate the fertile greens, I wanna tell you I

Don't perpetuate these western schemes but I can't stop laughing at

The shortsightedness of childhood dreams where we're all young astronauts

The truth is it sucks being young and in love

When you're old you're just bummed that you'll never be happy enough

Swim in waterfalls while parents sleep; emerge with spider bites

Fearlessly exploring new countries, I crashed my motorbike

I wanted to outline the scar in tattoo ink

It looked like a polar bear or Africa

But the scar went away and my memories changed

No, it wouldn't be great to be back in 1998

I've been treating my body

Like I never worry that I'm gonna die

Because you would forgive me

I've been treating my body

Like I, Like I'm worried

That I'm gonna die and you're gonna forget my name

So what do we get for the friends we've met and the ones we love at home?

Yeah, what do we get for the friends we've met and the one we've left alone?

We're gonna give 'em a trip to the hospital

We're gonna give 'em the bill for the funeral

We're gonna give 'em the debt from our student loans

We're gonna give 'em what's left of the shit we owned

I've been treating my body

Like I never worry that I'm gonna die

Because you would forgive me

I've been treating my body

Like I, Like I'm worried

That I'm gonna die and you're gonna forget my name

So what do we get for the friends we've met and the ones we love at home?

Yeah, what do we get for the friends we've met and the one we've left alone?

We're gonna give 'em a trip to the hospital

We're gonna give 'em the bill for the funeral

We're gonna give 'em the debt from our student loans

We're gonna give 'em what's left of the shit we owned
