If I made it to your bedroom
I would never leave
Faded reflections fill the water
They look just like me
I sit in my house and look around for scattered pieces of anything
Never been good at spilling my guts
You're gonna have to pull them right out of me
But if you make it out of the weeds
You will stumble over your feet
Then I'll bite down and look away
Because that is easy
And if I am barely hanging in
Then I'll get by on sleight of hand
I need a spot where I can lean
And scribble my plans
Still not sure of them
Well, that's just too damn bad for you!
That's too damn bad for both of us!
I draw figure eights with my words
They never find a place to land
Though I'm feeling real old and you're getting there too
I love you now like I loved you then
We are dressed for success and
Our neckties cut our airflow
Now that we are wooden
We are focused
I said, "that's too damn bad for us"
And you said, "no, that's too bad for you!"
I am so confident
Either that, or I'm full of shit
And maybe I'm incompetent
Stacked on top of it
I am always overwhelmed
Every big and little thing
Crashes hard into me
It gets swept underneath, underneath
And it took a lifetimes worth of work to be as unpleasant as I am
And I don't think that I will ever turn it back
Yeah, it took a lifetimes worth of work to become as careless as I am
And I don't think that I will ever turn it back
Well, that's just too damn bad for you!
That's too damn bad for both of us!
I would never leave
Faded reflections fill the water
They look just like me
I sit in my house and look around for scattered pieces of anything
Never been good at spilling my guts
You're gonna have to pull them right out of me
But if you make it out of the weeds
You will stumble over your feet
Then I'll bite down and look away
Because that is easy
And if I am barely hanging in
Then I'll get by on sleight of hand
I need a spot where I can lean
And scribble my plans
Still not sure of them
Well, that's just too damn bad for you!
That's too damn bad for both of us!
I draw figure eights with my words
They never find a place to land
Though I'm feeling real old and you're getting there too
I love you now like I loved you then
We are dressed for success and
Our neckties cut our airflow
Now that we are wooden
We are focused
I said, "that's too damn bad for us"
And you said, "no, that's too bad for you!"
I am so confident
Either that, or I'm full of shit
And maybe I'm incompetent
Stacked on top of it
I am always overwhelmed
Every big and little thing
Crashes hard into me
It gets swept underneath, underneath
And it took a lifetimes worth of work to be as unpleasant as I am
And I don't think that I will ever turn it back
Yeah, it took a lifetimes worth of work to become as careless as I am
And I don't think that I will ever turn it back
Well, that's just too damn bad for you!
That's too damn bad for both of us!
