There are stories in the soil, loose cover the ground There's volumes in the forest, no one reads out If I could take them down off of that mountain We used to climb but no one to go up that far now, yeah
We're all too working, entertaining ourselves hours television and prescription pills Well, I take two a day to make my behave It never but who's to say, at least my doctor gets paid
So that's fine, yeah, come by, 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 you're my girl I like your style, imagine all the time we could kill
And time's not poison but you drink it all you'll die So let's just sip it real slow, yeah, we can nurse it all Try to believe that once it's We'll pour another and come back to life, come right back
I guess I'm moving faster now or that's what said And though some days take forever I can't disagree it seems to me that I wake up and sleep Look in the mirror, no idea what happened in between
But I remember counting days 'til the year could be done So I could all my notebooks on the prep school lawn And disappear again into a bliss Of staying out, sleeping in and getting drunk my friends
Well, that's gone and I know it won't ever come back I accept I won't cling to I had in the past But life's a slippery slope, regret's the hill Hope for the best, plan for the and maybe 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 could have been Believe what everyone tells me is true Yeah, they say, "True" Yeah, they say, "True", Yeah, say, "True" That's what say, they say
