lyrics

At night I watch the ripples dance across the empty sky
And think ‘I’d love to say goodbye tonight’
But I’d hate to be a half-assed poet,
A case of ‘coulda been if he’d stuck around’

But it’s a pointless, stupid conversation
Cause when the morning comes
I know I’ll feel a rush of apprehension
Come in like a flood

It always hits me like an upper
It hits me like a different kind of blue

Oh it’s a beautiful life
Why you wanna throw it all away tonight?
Just think of the people you’re leaving behind

But sometime before the afternoon I start to feel the gloom
I feel it thicken in an hour or two
I feel it tugging at my skin and bones
Tugging at my pants and at my shoes

When the evening comes I’ve hit the fan
I’ve really come loose
That’s when I start to feel cynical
And wonder what’s the use

That feeling’s so god damned familiar
I know exactly what I’m gonna do

Oh it’s a beautiful life
Why you wanna throw it all away tonight?
Just think of the people you’re leaving behind

When they find out you’re gone
Like the words to a half-finished song
You think they’ll remember you
For anything but this?
