Living Like This

Last night I had the same dream again

You were outside, you were waiting with our friends

My damn towels wouldn't dry, I was standing there naked and drenched

'Cause even in my dreams, I'm still an inconvenience

It was raining inside, and everyone was agreeing

That I needed a hobby, so you got me a present

Well, this is better than a sharp stick in the eye

Yeah, this is nice and all, but what the hell am I

Supposed to do with a bowling ball at my age?

I think I wasted all the time I could have tried

Oh, is this it?

Is this everything?

I had the whole damn world in the palm of my hands

Had the whole damn thing at my fingertips

Will I ever really get it together

Before my hands grow cold and stiff?

The thought of dying ain't bad, yeah, the sad part is living like this

Living like this

Last night I had the best time with you

We were laying down, we were looking at the moon

And I started to brace for a life with a love I could lose

See, that's the story with me

Been walking with blinders on like a horse in the city

I just can't face an unexpected truth

Well, this is better than a swift kick in the teeth

But maybe I need one

To make the change I need

Or I'll pretend everything is fine as always

I'll eat a birthday cake with all the ones I keep

Oh, is this it?

Is this everything?

I had the whole damn world in the palm of my hands

Had the whole damn thing at my fingertips

Will I ever really get it together

Before my hands grow cold and stiff?

The thought of dying ain't bad, yeah, the sad part is living like this
