Fool's Gold

I hate to say it, but I think I'm getting too old The conversations that my mind won't even let me hold Your attention isn't worth my weight in fool's gold Wanna let go, can I let go? Started talking and you couldn't look in my eyes Told me stories 'bout you drinking on the fourth of July Every little truth, it turned into a big lie Why do I try? Why do I try? If I hold my breath 'til I fall asleep Will it be there when I wake? Maybe we can take some time Move out West where we can do this right Broken clock still keeps the time Who says I've got to stay in line? I'm so sick of these city lights Everything here's black and white I don't know where I went wrong But I surely did tonight It just me or is this music playing too loud? All the kids dressed in black, really getting me down Mother warned me about hanging with the wrong crowd Gotta get out, gotta get out Don't give a fuck if you intended to ignore me Wish that I could close my eyes and just go back to sleep That's your best friend, and she's passed out in the backseat She needs you more than me If I fall asleep with my hands held tight They'd be there when I wake And maybe we can take some time Move out West where we can do this right Broken clock still keeps the time Who says I've got to stay in line? I'm so sick of these city lights Everything here's black and white And she's calling me to bed But I will not sleep tonight, mm I have a tendency to overthink in my head Let's just listen to some music and go back to bed Probably didn't hear a single word that I said Just forget it until the mornin'
