The Fine Line of a Quiet Life

I would've thought by now I'd 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 future's bright 'Cause you just sleep all day and stay up all night Be safe, be brave, be whatever you like Just don't involve me 'Cause I don't wanna do it again I'm getting tired and old I only wanted a friend Someone to do as they're told I started falling apart As I was ready to go Uh! I see a glass half-full and you say you don't I know you say you will, but I know you won't Your teeth dug in and they won't let go You try your best, but it just don't show And when the road is closed and you're 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 don't wanna do it again I'm getting tired and old I only wanted a friend I'll do whatever I'm told I started falling apart As I was ready to go Uh! When everything beside you Comes crashing down, I'll find you And while I sleep I see you And what it's like to be you Take care and don't be fearful There's no undoing evil It's all a bunch of lies anyway So why bother? Why waste your time?
