This song has a long list of influences that includes the Alkaline Trio, Bob Dylan, Bryan Adams, the short movie "True", the movie "Lost and Delirious" and the oldest guitar I have (which I hardly ever use for songwriting).
lyrics
Somehow we lost our summer and now we have to move on
We just pretend to be busy, both wondering what went wrong
I saw you have a new haircut
I told you I'm doing fine
We both pretend time changed us
But it's been us who changed time
It's all right, after all, I guess love just had a bad hair day
I don't mind if you call, I don't need you anyway
You were caught in transition, more insecure than ever before
I missed the point so many times, I don't bother counting anymore
After all, I guess love just had a bad hair day
I don't mind if you call, I don't love you anyway
I don't love you anyway
