Poems and Closing Time Lyrics – Zach Bryan

[Pre-Chorus: Zach Bryan]
Well, I've been over drinking
'Cause I've been overthinking
'Cause I get so damn anxious at night
Chemicals and nicotine, friends ask "How you been?"
And you just learn to say you're alright

[Chorus: Zach Bryan]
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

[Verse 1: Zach Bryan]
And those bastards get richer
While the poor dig ditches
To bury their dreaming in
And labor don't cheat
Baby, 5 a.M. is the reason they're sleeping in
Oh, men build churches
So the kids find worth in
Something bigger than themselves
But the uncorruptible don't exist
And you can't buy your way outta Hell

[Interlude: Zach Bryan]
Closing time
I'm lost again past two
Closing time
It'll always just be me and you

[Pre-Chorus: Zach Bryan]
And I've been over drinking
'Cause I've been overthinking
'Cause I get so damn anxious at night
Chemicals and nicotine, friends ask me how I've been
You just learn to say you're alright

[Chorus: Zach Bryan]
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

[Outro: Zach Bryan]
So don't try to pain me and don't try 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
