Do the jump

it's a Friday night at 1 am
And I spilt my fucking Red Bull on the floor
I just realized I still do
The same little jump you taught me
All those years ago
When we went bowling with your family
A pointless little ritual
That supposedly brought good luck
It never worked
I asked my friend what she would do
If she woke up tomorrow to find
That what she did today
Had no consequences
And I thought to myself
Id do the jump
Id do the jump
So I cuss and I scream
When I drop my fucking energy drink
I want to go home
But home won't have me here
So I sit and listen to a concert
That I'm spoiling to myself
Because I'll be there in a few months
And I wonder about my grades
That are going to impact the rest of my life
Do the jump, you said
Do the jump Ashlynn
Do the jump
