Lyrics

I'm terrified of the world that goes forever behind
The curtain's closing like the lips around the light I find
In all my friends
In all my songs
In all my stupid college shit
Wasting all the summers swallowing the time that I've got left
Nothing hurts like hometown heartbreak
Through the turnstile, up the staircase
Uncrumpling an invite in reluctant hands
I'm making old mistakes
The things I wish I'd done
The drugs I know I'll never do again
Parties overrated
Attended by depreciating friends
If I can make it through this weekend
I might crawl out next week a better man
I'd like to think
With it all tugging at my conscience that I'd turn the other way
I need a drink
Something strong and sweet enough to feed the worms inside my brain
Waiting on the train again
Straddling Lake Michigan
To climb the ladder in the clouds
To do the jobs I've heard so much about
The things they sell to you
Things you never thought or knew you'd need
It all comes falling through
When what you need's the holes in your degree
If I can make it to this paycheck
I'll still crawl out another train wreck
I'd like to think
With it all tugging at my conscience that I'd turn the other way
And I'd lie and say to you something strong and sweet enough
To convince myself I might've thought this through
I refuse to pick and ration between my goals and all my friends
To auction off my adolescent songs for what the market says
Arrest another undergrad for speaking out on common sense
And wipe the blood off your degree
Waiting on the train again
Straddling Lake Michigan
I drove car in high school
Now I'm waiting on the train
Waiting on the train to take me home
It's everywhere I need to go
Sweating off the names and numbers
From my friends and from my network
There a trick to failing upwards
When they hang you upside down
Just let your wallet do the talking
And you'll probably stumble out
Without a scratch
Without a clue
Without a dent in your life savings
It's been four years and no one's answered any real questions
Can I learn to stand up straight
How to pay taxes on the things I own
How to not be fucking awkward when the girls get close and physical
To keep a good thing going
How to relax and settle down
How to say just what you're thinking without freaking everybody out
