You were fixin' a mem'ry
While I sat alone
and I played that song for you
but you were on your phone
I walked up to your door
but I didn't ring the bell
'cause you're no fun anymore
and you can't even tell
I was lookin' to get out
I couldn't take no more
You asked if I was serious
and I said that I wasn't sure
I was lookin' to get out
But I couldn't find the door
You asked me what I meant
I said people are no fun anymore
People are no fun anymore
I was shitfaced drunk
then I drank some more
and I realized all at once
I wasn't havin' fun anymore
It's never that bad
but some days it gets
to feeling like my life is just the break between cigarettes
I was fallin' down
Said I needed a smoke
You asked if I was okay and I said that I didn't know
I was fallin' down
Lookin' for the door
You asked me what I meant
I said people are no fun anymore
People are no fun anymore
People are no fun anymore
People are no fun anymore
I was lookin' for a girl
to get me through the shakes
Now when I'm next to her I just get
Earthquakes
Said that I couldn't sleep
but that was only half way true
'cause darlin' I could sleep
I just wanted to sleep with you
I was lookin' to get out
I couldn't take no more
You asked if I was jokin'
and I said that I wasn't sure
I was lookin' to get out
outta that goddamn door
You asked me what I meant
I said people are no fun anymore
People are no fun anymore
People are no fun anymore
People are no fun anymore

Totally Lost
03:23

I'm totally lost with my head in my hands and my guts laying on the ground
It'll be weird I don't know if you realize but I'll still see you around
My stomach just hurts and I don't know why
There's a pretty girl here that I can't look in the eye
'Cause I'm thinking of you and I don't know why
I'm always fucking hurting and I want to die
And I'm thinking of you and I don't know why
Said I miss you but I miss the feeling I lost long ago
Maybe we just need to be apart if we're ever gonna grow
Your face held no surprise as tears filled up your perfect eyes
Darkness filled the broken skies
My heart was breaking and I don't know why
It's the same old shit
Year after year
I don't know why you even want me here
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
That'll ever make us feel the same again
Maybe one day we could be together but we won't be so sad
Maybe one day i could make it better but not make you so mad
If I never loved you then I don't know why
I'm so blue I can't get high
and her lips on mine don't satisfy
When I'm thinking of you and I don't know why
Don't you ever say that I never tried
I said I'd always love you and I never lied
Should I hold you while you cry?
Or should I just fuck off and die
It's the same old shit
the same old fears
Our bed hasn't been made in years
If I stay will it stop the tears?
Or should I just disappear

Waiting For Nothing
04:24
|
|||
|
Haven't felt a thing since you've been gone
But I know one day you'll come home
When you get tired
When you're sick of the cold
When you're rid of the hurtin' that you have down deep in your soul
A few more minutes til I take my meds
Just a couple more hours then I go to bed
and the rest of the time
I just look out the window
and try to remember all the places that I wanted to go
Back in '62 I dreamed of you
but that's the last thing I recall
and I hope you still remember
cause you still haven't called
City life never did me right
Bright lights keep me up at night
So I walk the empty streets
and think of all the promises I didn't keep
My checks stopped coming back in '92
They cut your lights and water too
The last I heard
You lived in government housing
and your new guy paid the bills by slinging cocaine
The drinkin's done my liver in
There's holes in my damn intestines
and the only thing I want is to fall asleep
If you want nothing you should get what you want
I've been waiting a lifetime it still hasn't come
I've been waiting for nothing
I've been waiting so long
I thought death would be peaceful but maybe I'm wrong
Thought death could be useful
Thought death could be quick
But all of this dying is making me sick
All of this dying and nothing to show
Just some good people that aren't around anymore
But damn it's good to be alive
the sun shining in my eyes
Alone on a distant beach
I smile and remember all the things that I wanted to be
I've got eternity inside of me
There's nothing I can't do
So I'll sit in the light of the sun and think of you

Not Too Bad
02:55

It's not too bad
it could be worse
they wheeled me downtown in the hearse
Through the square and past the church
The pastor said a couple words
and then they put me in the dirt
I didn't cry
It didn't hurt
You probably don't
remember when
you were 13 and I was 10
I sat on the shore and watched you swim
You swam forever and back again
But I was too scared to jump in
and I think that's how it's always been
Used to work down at the store
and life was good
when we weren't poor
A beautiful house with a big front porch
It was mine and I was yours
I was there today
knocked on your door
but you don't live there anymore
maybe I wasn't always true
but I had my reasons for the things I'd do
and I was still in love with you
after all I'd put us through
I've been thinking about
what I'd do
if I could close my eyes and just be with you

Without You
02:06

It's so hard to think about
I know I run my mouth
I'm just talkin' out loud
But the sun ought not be out
Without you
I wish you could see me getting better
When I got back you hadn't got one letter
And like I could give a fuck about the weather
None of this even fucking matters without you
I can't remember everything I've done
Maybe I fought when I ought to have run
But now it doesn't matter block out the sun
I don't have any fucking fun without you
Lead me barefoot through the forest
I don't care if they all ignore us
Framed by dead leaves you look so gorgeous
Nothing really even seems important
Without you
