Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting on the curb with my greatest fear
Outside the discount tobacco and beer
Thought if I dove, it would get more clear
But it's all brown
[Verse 2]
Half of my friends got a foot in the soil
Ball point pen and aluminum foil
Shuffling off this ol' mortal coil
Just to get out
[Verse 3]
So if you wanna hop in, I'll give you a ride
God, I'd really love if you would make it tonight
I'll try to pick you up around four or five and go downtown
[Verse 4]
Called it a miracle
Now you're learnin' what a living means
When everybody's as miserable like you
Don't wanna be cynical anymore
Think I'd rather stay asleep
Everyone's miserable like me
[Verse 5]
Brother, if you wanna, we can split our cash
For a little fresh tar and fiberglass
Shootin' the moon about death and tax and gasoline
[Verse 6]
When I give you a promise just to prove it's a con
Tryin' to be honest, I'm gonna get gone
In bed with my runnin' shoes on and chasing a bad dream down
[Verse 7]
Could have been anything
There's nothing that I'm gonna stay
You change and then you change back
You could be any way you choose
What's the matter when it looks the same
Goin' out and goin' back?
Now it's downhill both ways
