We were digging through the garbage on the day before your wedding,

why are we always losing what we need?

Woke up with the feeling there was something we’re forgetting,

something kind of small but growing like a sprouted seed.

We took our dreams to the dump ‘cause they told us to recycle, oh please,

we wouldn’t have to bother if they just quit selling us junk.

But now my conscience is a mobster with a bat and an eye on my knees

and a look that says there’s room for me inside the trunk.

I know I let you down again, I know I let you down again

I know I let you down again, I know I let you down again

Now there’s a reason we've been wheezing and it’s bigger than the weather, oh yeah.

But does who done it even matter if you cannot make them stop?

I think I’ve still got hope but I haven’t seen feather yet

and I’m too damn tired of trying to get on top.

I caught a bad fear of falling when I heard you calling out my name.

May you always find what you need.

It was real dirty work but you made it feel like a game,

laying in the lawn chairs listening to let it bleed.

I know I let you down again, I know I let you down again

I know I let you down again. I know I let you down again

 

And I’ll do it again, and I love you, my friend. But I’ll do it again, but I love you.
