Sifting through the monumental layers of shit presented to me on a platter every day Can't believe the hollow, empty things that we buy Wicker Cathedrals are catching fire.. So let's pretend the cabin's losing pressure (because it is) we're going down.. (Buddy Wakefield) So count to 10, breathe in slowly and hold.. (now breathe out) I wanna spread love I wanna find beauty I wanna find truth I wanna be happy I want to show up for the people that love me.. I promise from here on out, I'll try..

She got that wide-brimmed floppy hat.. and she's sippin' mint juleps She's never been to Kentucky, but she'll never turn down the chance to Turn a blind eye away from the feeling that she's running out...she's running out of time (She's running out of time!) She bet her tips from yesterday on the number 5 pony...(ooo) She's always dreaming 'bout India but she's never left the county.. Darby on Derby Day.. distracting from depression, but she's running out..she's running out of time! (She's running out of time!) Darby on Derby Day, a darling of descension.. and she's running out, running out of time.. (She's running out of time!) She's running out of time...ooo I made her a garland of roses, so she made me burgoo.. and we're running out, running out of time!

Let's go back in time, right before either one of us made any mistakes.. You got no idea Just how good you looked, with that wonder in your eye.. (woah) with that wonder any our eye.. I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm not quite your idea of a good guy.. Let's go back in time, right before either one of us said the things that we said.. You got no idea just how good you looked, with that sparkle in your eye.. (woah) with that sparkle in your eye.. You're just an image in my mind.. It's just an image in my mind..woah... Let's go back in time to the night I walked you home with my arm across your shoulder.. You got no idea just how good it felt to have your body next to mine.. Let's go back in time to the idea we both had for what this could become.. You got no idea just how good it felt to have hope for the first time... (woah) hope for the first time.. in such a long time.. It's just an image in my mind.. You're just an image in my mind...woah..

Hurling like an artist through the dark and aiming for concentric circles.. Not just a target, but a place to rest our heads All my friends meet me at the bar they know just how I feel I think they know just how I feel, so broken Waiting for something to give in with our eyes all glistening We stare up at the moon and start to fall Oh, we do this over and over again Waiting for something to kick in Whoa, We are the bows & arrows Whoa, We are the bows & arrows Fading like a fire in the night When all we need is a little stoking Not just a fire, but a laugh that will wake the dead All my friends speak when spoken to Well we're talking way passed two I think they know just how I feel, so swollen Waiting for something to give in Well we're changing with the wind The cold, it starts to creep as we bide our time Oh, We do this over and over again Oh, Waiting for something to kick in Whoa, We are the bows & arrows Whoa, We are the bows & arrows Twiddling my thumbs, just like grandpa always did I try to keep my eye on the prize, but I'm not that kind of kid Twiddling my thumbs, just like grandpa always did Well I try to maintain focus, focus, focus, focus, focus, focus..

Sacrifice the now, for the later Try to find the middle ground, between what I want and what I need Put aside the short term, and invest in the future Well a friend that helps you reel it in, is a friend indeed A friend that helps you reel it in, is a friend indeed.. A friend who helps you reel it in.. Staring off in space, while sit-in in the fire Lookin' for a place that gives me a sense of calm Balancing contentment with desire and a friend who helps you reel it in is a friend indeed Well a friend who helps you reel it in is a friend indeed A friend who helps you reel it in... Well Everyone I talk to says to invest in real estate Get a 401k, and try to own a home Well if home is where you rest your head but you never get rest You might wanna invest in something of your own.. Hurry up and wait You're kneeling at an alter Stayin up too late so your mind will settle down, down, down Livin' day to day, you fumble and you falter But a friend who helps you reel it in is a friend indeed No a friend who helps you reel it in is a friend indeed Well a friend who helps you reel it in is a friend indeed oh-whoa....
