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