There are in the soil, loose leaves cover the ground There's volumes in the forest, no one out loud If I could take them down off of mountain shelf We used to but no one tries to go up that far now, yeah
all too busy working, entertaining ourselves Forty television and prescription pills Well, I take two a day to my brain behave It never does but to say, at least my doctor gets paid
So that's fine, yeah, come by, take the afternoon off We can and undress or if you want 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 sip it real slow, yeah, we can nurse it all night Try to believe once it's gone We'll pour another round and come to life, come right back
I guess I'm faster now or that's what they said And though some days still take forever I can't Because it seems to me I wake up and sleep Look in the mirror, have no idea happened in between
But I counting days down 'til the year could be done So I could scatter all my notebooks on the school lawn And disappear again a summer's bliss Of staying out, sleeping in and getting drunk my friends
Well, gone and I know that it won't ever come back I accept I won't cling to what I had in the But life's a slippery slope, regret's the steepest 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, don't to rot in my room And never know what have been Believe everyone else tells me is true Yeah, say, "True" Yeah Yeah, say, "True", Yeah, they say, "True" That's they say, they say
