If We're Gonna Breakup, Let's Make it Take Forever (feat Miles Nielsen)

by NEWSKI

/

about

It’s a tale as old as time. You lose your damn mind under the chemical sway of love.

What an honor and a privilege to fall into it.

What a mind-warp, “seemingly end-of-the-fucking-world” disaster to fall out of it.

You're gonna get your heart stepped on eventually. It happens to all the people of earth.

The pain is useful. Pretty sure it’s there for a reason. So use it while ya got it.

One of my best friends once said, “It’s the moments that bring you to your knees that will evolve you as a person.”

"If We're Gonna Breakup, Let's Make it Take Forever (feat Miles Nielsen)" is a new song out Friday. I didn't write it about any person in particular, but since the "long slow goodbye" is a painful tale as old as time, here's a humorous take on it in an attempt to relieve the heaviness

lyrics

You were drinking Sunny D

in your Jacki-O shades

Gettin off on a lawn chair

Ignoring what I had to say


We’re Off the reservation

Shot communication

We sure do get our digs in

are we each others punching bag?


How long can we go this way?

Baby, pull the pin from the grenade



We are way too addicted

to the Love, hate, tears and pleasure

So if we’re gonna break up

let’s make it take forever


I was shootin’ trash whiskey

From a red solo cup

Just to numb the abuse

Don't you think we’ve had enough?


Gonna die at my desk job

You’re gonna die on the couch

Because the hard conversations

Are too much to talk about


How long can we go this way?

It’s way too hard to call the game



We are way too addicted

to the Love, hate, tears and pleasure

So if we’re gonna break up

let’s make it take forever
