[Verse 1]
Counting down to nothing
It’s the thirteenth week of
Barely getting up
Open my eyes to watch the time pass by
‘Til I become someone
I used to love somebody
I used to see the silver linings
I used to feel something
Now it’s all too quiet
I’ve been losing
The will to work through it
[Chorus]
I’m calling in sick for the season
Waiting for the reasons
I should keep conjuring meaning
Don’t believe I’ve ever even seen it
Spend the whole month sleeping
What difference could it make
Maybe next year’s all that I’ve been dreaming
Or maybe it’s more of the same
[Post-Chorus 1]
I’m calling in sick for the season
Season
Sick for the season
[Verse 2]
Judging by the photos
Guess it’s just as well that
You would never know
But I’d rather not have to lie and besides
I’m not sure you could help at all
Once I had days unwasted
Liked all my chances taken
But behind every door was something more pitiful
And I don’t see that changing
[Chorus]
I’m calling in sick for the season
Waiting for the reasons
I should keep conjuring meaning
Don’t believe I’ve ever even seen it
Spend the whole month sleeping
What difference could it make
Maybe next year’s all that I’ve been dreaming
Or maybe it’s more of the same
[Post-Chorus 2]
I’m calling in sick for the season
Season
(Sick season, sick season)
Sick for the season
[Bridge]
I’ve been losing the will
The will
Working through it still
But it’s the thirteenth week of
Counting down to nothing
I’m getting sick of
Hoping for something that’s just not coming
[Chorus]
I’m calling in sick for the season
Waiting for the reasons
I should keep conjuring meaning
Don’t believe I’ve ever even seen it
Spend the whole month sleeping
What difference could it make
Maybe next year’s all that I’ve been dreaming
Or maybe it’s more of the same
[Post-Chorus 3]
I’m calling in sick for the season
(Ever even seen it)
Sick for the season
(Don’t believe I’ve ever even seen the meaning)
I’m calling in sick for the season
(Don’t believe I’ve ever even seen it)
I’m calling in sick for the season
(Don’t believe I’ve ever even seen the meaning)
