you threw away your chance at being somebody else
you picked me up
and swept me out of restaurant hell
your father built this house back in '98
never had before and it's always too late
the buildings stream along and
the telephone lines
have sparked and crossed together
to set us a fire
the likes of which before
I'd never seen
you'd float away that hollow noise
catching smoke rings.
Nothing was more painful
than when we were gettin' high
by the baseball diamond after school
and I burnt my tongue on bad news, bad news, bad news
bad news
and it was more trouble than we were worth
you said when you'd quit smoking
and left a silence like you rehearsed
cause I was the one with the problem.
what you said
what you'll say
what you said
what you'll say
what you'll say
you threw away your chance at being somebody else
wasting time in your own personal hell
you threw away your chance at being somebody else
you threw away your chance at being somebody else
wasting time in your own personal hell
you threw away your chance at being somebody else
Andrew
light a match
and save the rest for me, please.
Andrew.
