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