Petey - Microwave Dinner Lyrics

We were both dumb at the same things
How many sharp tacks does it take to make
Another f*ckin meal in the microwave?
Are we the type of people to pro-create?

So you wanna little cubby with half my brain
A thing to always love you with our last name
A steady source of meaning through all the change
Baby, I ain't even sure if I ate today

Yea I guess I'm just a bit of a goofball
But we don't joke around like we used to
It's hard to have a laugh when you feel the truth
When you see another path laid in front of you
Do I really wanna live a life like this?
Do I really wanna marry the only person I've kissed
Since I was 20 years old?
On a porch in New Orleans
God damn it was a hot one
Like hell it was a scorcher
I remember that night, it was the night we met
We drank 3 dollar wine to ease our existential dread
My head was on your chest
I remember you asked me
Have you ever told a lie?

Have you ever told a lie just for the hell of it?
Nothing that important, just some inconsequential shit
Like the wrong date something happened
Or the people you were with
Just to make it come together man, just to make your story fit
Yea, I don't know why we do this
I think life gets pretty hard sometimes we lie to get through it
But your eyes are the truth, and our hearts are congruent
And in the very, very moment I think that I love you
Yea, I love you
And I think that I need ya
Yea I think that I love you

And I think I'll always need ya
Do I really wanna live a life like this?
Do I really wanna take over my old mans honda dealership?
And buy a little house, maybe have a couple kids
So I can learn what to be loved unconditionally is?

Is that selfish?
Not more than drinking 20 beers and getting tan and eating shellfish
On the Mississippi River
In my head is like a riddle
Where anxiety and narcissism meet somewhere in the middle

Am I socio or empath?
I've been a wreck since I was little
At my own grandfather's funeral I even let out a little giggle

I was just a little boy
F*cking relax man it happens
I was just 6 years old and I couldn't hand the sadness
And neither could anyone else

And neither could anyone else
