Therapy from Dry Spell by Ghost Town Remedy

“It’s kind of a funny story actually,“ says lead singer and guitarist TJ Maher. "The song itself came about during an argument with my ex. She basically told me, ‘I can’t be your girlfriend and your therapist. You’re going to have to pick one.’ I started writing the chorus right there mid-fight. ‘Therapy’ for me, is a song about recognizing that you can’t always do everything on your own and that it’s ok to ask for help if you need it,” continues Maher. “Everyone has their burdens and we’ve all dealt with depression in some form or another.”

Lyrics

She says I need to get help
Lately I haven’t been myself
Smoking two packs a day
Drinking my life away
I’m drowning in my apathy
But I can’t afford the therapy

Ohh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh whoa oh
Ohh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh whoa oh

Feels like I’m slowly losing hope
There must be better ways to cope
Than getting high all day
Wasting my life away
My problems got the best of me
But I can’t afford the therapy

Ohh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh whoa oh
Ohh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh whoa oh

Lock the doors draw the blinds
Till the sun won’t show
Leave a note on the porch
Tell em nobody’s home

Drive all night to a spot
On the edge of this town
Put it in park think about
Everyone you’ve let down

And as you wait close your eyes
Let the pills kick in
Remember when we were kids
Hanging out with our friends

We got so drunk after class
We could barely stand
But even still all in all
We were happier then

We were happier then
Wish I were happy again

Ohh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh whoa oh
Ohh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh whoa oh

Ohh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh whoa oh
Ohh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh whoa oh

She says I need to get help
Lately I haven’t been myself

Depressions got a hold on me
But I can’t afford the therapy
