lyrics

Try to not hate living here
See my new niece grow up only through pictures
Probably get drunk again while I read Superman
Poring over the words like it's scripture

Then wake up and do it over again
Learn my life's just a brick through your window
Hope to God we're gonna be fine
Really hope we're gonna be fine
But I'm getting so used to hearing, "No"

Might lose the forest for the trees
If I fall, I really don't think you'll hear me
I was so full of shit before all of this
Well now I feel completely empty

Spend a week lost in albums made by my friends
Near the only thing that helps me feel rested
Hate myself for an hour for how angry I'm getting
Then feel worse for not being more effective

This really may be as good as it gets for a while
So try to be present

But I hear the bartender talk about his kids
In a way that makes me honestly jealous
All my hope's pretty gone
But the show must go on
So take a shot and hum along to some Elvis

I wanna stumble through your downtown again
I wanna get sad without thinking it's over
I wanna let down my guard
It shouldn't have to be this hard
For me to want to stay sober
