17250 Lyrics
I never hoped for the best
But I'd be surprised if it got any worse, I swear
I never told you the truth, I realized
That you never cared at all
[Pre-Chorus]
I woke up this morning
On someone else's mattress
Don't mean to be a bother
But what the fuck just happened?
[Chorus]
And I fell apart in your driveway, like, a thousand times
Past few months, my dear, I've lived a thousand lives
I knew from the start that I, I should've drawn the linе
You're hot to the touch, my dear, I keep gеtting cauterized
[Verse 2]
I'm letting the blood build up in my mouth
I'm so damn scared of just letting it out
I'm so damn scared of the sound it'll make on the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
I woke up this morning
On someone else's mattress
Don't mean to be a bother
But what the fuck just happened?
And I fell apart in your driveway, like, a thousand times
Past few months, my dear, I've lived a thousand lives
I knew from the start that I, I should've drawn the line
You're hot to the touch, my dear, I keep getting cauterized
[Bridge]
17-250 (Fuck me, why did I do that?)
17-250 (I can't stand myself but you knew that)
17-250 (250, 250)
17-250 (250, 250)
[Outro]
I woke up this morning
On someone else's mattress
Don't mean to be a bother
But what the fuck just happened?

So lore on this one, which this is some knowledge, this is some crazy shit that nobody even knows about. In the line, I say, ‘Hot to the touch my dear, I keep getting cauterized.’ Great lyric, everybody—. He’s so talented, he’s so talented. Um, and then my, my smartass was like, ‘What do you think the medical code for cauterization is in North Carolina?,’ and then you’ll never guess it, it’s 17250. I don’t fucking know dude, that shit is dope, that’s my favorite song on the whole shit.
