Fell asleep at 25
And I woke up so young
Looking back I guess I tried
To avoid anything like having fun
If I ran into myself
Would I take my advice?
Would I have a lot to say?
I don't know, I think I'd choke and
Honestly
I'd love to stay
Before I wake
I've got to run to catch that train
Memories
Of a sleeper car
Give and take
Is what I'd say
If I came back again one day
Memories
Never got me far
Fell asleep at 17
and I woke up so old
Look at everywhere I've been
And I've got so many places left to go
If I ran into myself
Would I be so impressed
If the person I became
Was exactly what I'd guessed?
2005
I never take my own advice
2005
The year that passed the whole world by

Fireside

"Grown" he remarked
"But never got wiser"
Show me the scars that you harbour
Dry reservoir
American cider
Drink till you're parched and ask for
A guarantee
Is all I need
Just promise me
A place to sleep
And if you don't
Well, then I'll know
That you would throw me to the wolves
It's all gone so wrong now
Down the drain and up in smoke
I know
If I should die right now
You'd carve my gravestone
You saw me cry
Don't open that window
Please shut the blinds
I'm so low
Still can't afford whatever you sold me
"Buyer's remorse"
You told me
Some privacy is all I need
Just promise me
I won't be seen
And if you do
I'll stay with you
And you can throw me to the wolves
Sit with me by the fireside
Sit with me and we'll talk about it
Let me sleep by the fireside
Let me sleep till the wolves come by here

Ugly Truth

Entertainment is what I need
To pass the time
I fill my days with tragedy
And real crimes
Not so long and not so far
The story goes
People talk like they were there themselves
But no one knows
And the only thing that I've been thinking
When she was old enough
I bet she could have been a doctor or something else
But it's not fair
She'll never get there
And that's the ugly truth
When everything looks just the same
As yesterday
I try to tell myself I'm just not looking close enough
I inhale and exhale, keep searching for the detail
I know something isn't right
It's like we're heading for disaster
With our eyes closed
Yeah it's better
To just forget her
And that's the ugly truth
Now she'll never get to
Be a doctor or a
Underpaid musician with an
Old eight-track recorder
And that's the ugly truth
