I've been having a horrible time Pulling myself together I've been closing my eyes to find The old, familiar failures I've been having a horrible time Pulling myself together I've been closing my eyes to find Why all good things should fall apart
'Cause I'm waiting On a future feeling 4 in the morning How did I get here? I gave all my love You don't even try anymore Would it kill you to have compassion For anyone else?
Is there anyone here I know? I look around the room Whatever I let it go Steve's in Germany, that's it I try to think of anyone else No, yeah, that's it I resolve to make new friends I liked my old ones But I fucked up so I'll start again What's the worst that could happen
I take risks in the stall while they talk by the bar I won't go back outside 'til my memory starts Erasing itself into something less brutal Some beautiful bullshit I pretend to belong to
I once wrote a song, the meaning was lost when my words came out wrong. But you all held it down, you all held it to me to sing it out loud. Just understand that I don't want to do this again. We grew apart, and I can feel for once that I belong somewhere else. Will it sell? And will the kids define it as something that breaks the ground, and all the things that don't amount to anything at all?
those years were the weight giving way so you'd startle awake just a time just a place just a name remembered with a photo in the frame
There are reasons you keep your hands tied, there's certain things you shouldn't have tried. So if you gotta tell me something, you better go from the beginning.
I think t’s really funny how you think every song is about you You think its funny how controlling I can be still I think it’s funny how you take my words for insults Now you're flying in a death star far away I think it’s funny how you said nothing can hurt you Except your one true lover and me I think it’s funny how you think things can’t be bad Just all the time you wasted on me Trust me a little
Don’t let my ghost drag you down If you don’t see me around It doesn’t mean that I fell Yeah I’m doing well I got some roses to smell I hope you smile when I’m gone It means I had the strength to move on To find another story to tell To answer the bell I got some roses to smell
Have you ever been close to tragedy Or been close to folks who have? Have you ever felt a pain so powerful So heavy you collapse?No? Well I've never had to knock on wood But I know someone who has Which makes me wonder if I could It makes me wonder if I've never had to knock on wood And I'm glad I haven't yet Because I'm sure it isn't good That's the impression that I get The Impression That I Get is actually pretty intense if you remove the skaness
If I ever do better than second place I've gotta go and make a play for your heart Like dormant volcanoes I'll be waking up on New Year's Day I won't be sprinting to finish the race But I could feel the butterflies from the start It's like we're outside running and there's nothing but the sun in your eyes I think?
Where I want to be still seems a thousand miles away But pretending we feel safe right here gets harder every day It's a note to self mislaid You ate the words you always used to say There will be no more fucking around today
