The Fine Line of a Quiet Life

I would've thought by now Iʼd be overgrown

And at the station waiting, I should've known

Just how much life was inside of me

Cut down a branch of my family tree

You find it hard to see that the futureʼs bright

'Cause you just sleep all day and stay up all night

Be safe, be brave, be whatever you like

Just donʼt involve me 'cause

I donʼt wanna do it again

Iʼm getting tired and old

I only wanted a friend

Someone to do as theyʼre told

I started falling apart

As I was ready to go

Uh

I see a glass half-full and you say you donʼt

I know you say you will, but I know you wonʼt

Your teeth dug in and they wonʼt let go

You try your best, but it just donʼt show

And when the road is closed and youʼre walking home

Could it be time to call it and just go home?

To your fine line of a quiet life

Acquired by knowing that

I donʼt wanna do it again

Iʼm getting tired and old

I only wanted a friend

Iʼll do whatever Iʼm told

I started falling apart

As I was ready to go

Uh

When everything beside you

Comes crashing down, Iʼll find you

And while I sleep I see you

And what itʼs like to be you

Take care and donʼt be fearful

Thereʼs no undoing evil

Itʼs all a bunch of lies anyway

So why bother? Why waste your time?
