lyrics

I’ve lost damn near more than I can stand to lose
And when I lay my head at night it’s overflowing with the blues
It might take some time for the top to boil off
Two crushed beer cans in my pocket stumbling through the night
This cold and empty winter air is trying to pick a fight
And I’m drunk and lonely as the night is long
So I’m going down the road feelin’ bad, bad, bad
And the dreams I hold inside are the worst I’ve ever had
Maybe I just need some space to clear my head
But the worst place to do that is lying here in bed
When all my thoughts surround me in the dark
Remind myself I’m young, still young I’ve got plenty of time
But I’ve got no goddamn idea what’s coming down the line
One of these days I’ll pack my bags and go
You told me once hell maybe you said it twice
But I’m stubborn and I’m young and I’m immune to good advice
You said “Don’t just wait around put up a fight”
As long as I keep running they can’t throw their dirt on me
But can I outrun the future we’ll just have to wait and see
Although none of this shit will matter in ten years
So why the hell am I awake afraid of all my fears
Maybe I’m too scared to let them die
