It Sucks - Avonlea

I’m the friend that you call

When you’re stoned on a side of the freeway

Who left you in the dust

Are the people that you trust in the light of the day?

I’m so honored that you’re trippin' in the back of my car

Damn, I’m not your mother but you kind of treat me like I am

It sucks that I love you

It blows that I want you to be safe and I know

You’ll keep tearing you down and I’ll be around

You know I can’t say no

It sucks that I want you

It blows that I need you in my life

'Cause you know, babe, you’re tearing me down

But I’ll always take you home

3 am, your driveway

Unbuckle you, grab your keys from your pocket

Swing your arms on my shoulder

Shuffle to the door, unlock it

I’m so honored that you aimed your puke right at my chest

I clean your vomit, turn out the lights, kiss your forehead

It sucks that I love you

It blows that I want you to be safe and I know

You’ll keep tearing you down and I’ll be around

You know I can’t say no

It sucks that I want you

It blows that I need you in my life

'Cause you know, babe, you’re tearing me down

But I’ll always take you home

I will be, I will be the one that holds your hand

I will be, I will be there to hold you up when you can’t stand
