This is a very serious song about time and friendship and whether or not friendship and time matter. "Haven't seen you in a minute" (some guy I haven't seen in years says that).
This song alludes to songs I was listening to when I wrote this song. "11:11" by alkaline trio, "The Calendar that hung itself" by Bright Eyes, Sluttering, May, 4th by Jawbreaker, "Sour Grapes" by Leatherface, also Grown Ups and all of their songs, none in particular just listening a lot. Well this song goes out to them, I will never not be a fan.
The drug test part has to do with my fear of lying. I hate to lie about greenery because I simply don't think it is a substance that is abusive, you know, like cigarettes.
This song is simple yet complex for me to explain in a way that will make perfect sense to you.
As you may have not read in war, the last clip is a part from mine and Augies socratic dialogue after seeing Forgetters. Great times talking to/at/with his wisdom.

lyrics
This is me four beers in, a sad sorry sack of shit. Sluttering May 4th and it's 11 past 11 and I am wishing that two years felt less like two minutes. Oh, how the calendar weighs heavy as if it hung itself on me.
And I wish I could get this drug test over with, because it feels like I'll never get high again. And I'm living life on shot-clocks as if my twenties didn't have another five years to grow or accomplish anything.
Saving time, sharing shorts, no you can kill it. "Days and days and days and days of sour grapes." I wish I had the type of friends that knew that I would die for them. I wish I weren't as loyal as I am.
I don't believe in anything, but I pretend to have a soul. It makes things much more comfortable.
"I wanna have someone there, and like it's easy to be like 'oh it doesn't matter who's there,' but dude, it matters who's there. Like, you want somebody you trust and actually respect with or without their clothes on... I don't want to be in a flat alone, like with an acoustic guitar. I just, I don't want that. It's impossible to make a proper decision when you're twenty-five years old because you don't know anything."
