about

This song is about sleeping through philosophy class. And boy genius Kienan. And getting kicked out of a house at 6 in the morning seriously hungover and having tears streaking down the face--NOT OUT OF SADNESS--DUE TO THE FRIGGIN' BLIZZARD GOING ON. AWESOME THANKS MEG.

lyrics

What is Cogito Theory?
Maybe something Japanese or something witty.
Kienan likes to teabag his knowledge
on philosophizers pondering death at college

Oh, he longs to be alone as the library closed.
I'm not crying its just the cold
kissing my eyelids as I walk home.
He's got Camus wet dreams
pushing everything up the hill.

Sophomores moving on
and they're all staring in my window.
Oh, that South Jersey broad
is saying hi to me now.
I think I might just quit,
its been quite a career.
Now its the prep school that's feeling sick
getting all Lysergic on the bleachers.

Oh, he longs to be alone as the library closed.
I'm not crying its just the cold
kissing my eyelids as I walk home.
He's got Camus wet dreams
pushing everything up the hill.
