There are stories in the soil, loose cover the ground There's volumes in the forest, no one out loud If I could take them down off of that shelf We used to but no one tries to go up that far now, yeah
We're all too busy working, entertaining Forty hours television and pills Well, I take two a day to make my brain It never but who's to say, at least my doctor gets paid
So that's fine, yeah, by, we'll take the afternoon off We can kiss and undress or if you just talk 'Cause I've got nothing real, just empty space to And my girl I like your style, just imagine all the time we could kill
And time's not poison but once you drink it all die So let's just sip it slow, yeah, we can nurse it all night Try to that once it's gone We'll pour another round and come back to life, right back
I guess I'm moving faster now or what they said And though some days take forever I can't disagree Because it to me that I wake up and sleep in the mirror, have no idea what happened in between
But I remember counting days down the year could be done So I could scatter all my on the prep school lawn And disappear into a summer's bliss Of staying out, sleeping in and getting drunk my friends
Well, that's gone and I know that it ever come back I accept I won't cling to what I had in the But life's a slope, regret's the steepest hill Hope for the best, plan for the worst and wind up in the middle
And I'm not saying that I what I want But I know what I don't, want to rot in my room And never what could have been Believe everyone else tells me is true Yeah, say, "True" Yeah Yeah, they say, "True", Yeah, say, "True" what they say, they say
