Zach Bryan – Poems and Closing Time Lyrics

Verse
I’ve been overdrinking ’cause I’ve been overthinking
‘Cause I get so **** anxious at night
Chemicals and nicotine, friends ask “how you been?”
You just learn to say you’re alright

Chorus
Poems and closing time, oh sweet love of mine
I found it so hard to find truth
Poems and closing time, oh sweet love of mine
It’ll always just be me and you

Instrumental

Verse
And old bastards get rich while the poor dig ditches
To bury that dream again
Lever goin’ cheap every 5AM
Is the reason they’re sleepin’ in
Oh men build churches so their kids find worth in
Something bigger than themselves
But the uncorrupt bull don’t exist
And you can’t buy your way out the hell

Chorus
Closing time, I’m lost again past two
Closing time, it’ll always just be me and you

Bridge
I’ve been overdrinking ’cause I’ve been overthinking
‘Cause I get so **** anxious at night
Chemicals and nicotine, friends ask me how I’ve been
You just learn to say you’re alright

Chorus
Poems and closing time, oh sweet love of mine
I found it so hard to find truth
Poems and closing time, only true friend of mine
It’ll always just be me and you
Don’t try to pay me and don’t try to play me
As one of your sorry fools
Poems and closing time, oh sweet love of mine
In a world that’s growing so cruel
