lyrics

I don’t get phone calls anymore
Stop by the house if you wanna see me
It’s actually a funny story
See, he don’t swim, he don’t swim
But he was old and he was dumb

It’s buried at the bottom of the pond out back
No time to think at times like that
You shouldn’t go where you can’t swim
Now my phone drowned just like him
Carried him out in my arms
Fur soaking wet, damp breath, dead dog
No one changes we just die
It’s not my fault I am this guy
No one changes we just die

I don’t get phone calls anymore
Stop by the house if you wanna see me
It’s actually a funny story
See he don’t swim, he don’t swim

Did I mention Chester died last week?
He drowned at the bottom of Sparrow Pond
And I can laugh it off, say that it’s nothing
But inside I wonder if I should do the same
Did I mention Chester died last week?
He drowned at the bottom of Sparrow Pond
And I jumped in after him
Not sure if I wanted to save him or to drown
As well
