lyrics
I’ve been in this rut for days, watched the world pass by in haze
And the better part of me knows if this melancholy
Doesn’t subside it’s bound to get the best of me.
One more time and then I swear it’s over
Quench my thirst and then I will get sober.
You won’t remember what I said because I got you, I got you
Wrapped round my finger with my jaded intent.
I thought I told you once that you’d be better off without me
Yea, you called my bluff that I don’t care enough and I’m barely ever happy.
I miss the times we had when I had time to be there for you.
I convulse with guilt then drown myself in beer.
Try to rearrange my thoughts into something good for once.
One more time and then I swear it’s over
Quench my thirst and then I will get sober.
You won’t remember what I said because I got you, I got you
Wrapped round my finger with my jaded intent.
Man, I should’ve been contented but instead I felt resented
It’s a common feeling.
I know you don’t condone abuse, the stream of drugs that I misuse
In the aftermath there’s a better path to choose.
One more time and then I swear it’s over
Quench my thirst and then I will get sober.
One more time and then I swear it’s over
Quench my thirst and then I will get sober.
You won’t remember what I said because I got you, I got you
Wrapped round my finger with my jaded intent.
And the better part of me knows if this melancholy
Doesn’t subside it’s bound to get the best of me.
One more time and then I swear it’s over
Quench my thirst and then I will get sober.
You won’t remember what I said because I got you, I got you
Wrapped round my finger with my jaded intent.
I thought I told you once that you’d be better off without me
Yea, you called my bluff that I don’t care enough and I’m barely ever happy.
I miss the times we had when I had time to be there for you.
I convulse with guilt then drown myself in beer.
Try to rearrange my thoughts into something good for once.
One more time and then I swear it’s over
Quench my thirst and then I will get sober.
You won’t remember what I said because I got you, I got you
Wrapped round my finger with my jaded intent.
Man, I should’ve been contented but instead I felt resented
It’s a common feeling.
I know you don’t condone abuse, the stream of drugs that I misuse
In the aftermath there’s a better path to choose.
One more time and then I swear it’s over
Quench my thirst and then I will get sober.
One more time and then I swear it’s over
Quench my thirst and then I will get sober.
You won’t remember what I said because I got you, I got you
Wrapped round my finger with my jaded intent.

This rapidly rose to become one of my favourite albums, and has been on repeat since hearing it. A constant theme runs throughout which makes this an album, not just a collection of songs in a way I haven't heard before. Classic pop-punk sing-alongs, hardcore screaming, along with some synth (!) sections - Its such a mix, but it comes together so well. Picking a favourite song does the whole album a disservice - its a package deal. Treat yourself to a listen.

Letters To Our Former Selves
by Youth Fountainsupported by 8 fans who also own “Something Good For Once”
Thanks for helping me get through separating with the first person I had a real relationship with. Manages to be excellent sad pop punk a la The Story So Far except with an actual singer and lyrics that aren’t misogynistic like TSSF and so many bands of that cohort.
