lyrics

"I got caught on my way back down,
now you can catch me drowning in a river of my own.
What's the point of overreacting
when it's all a bunch of junk?
The view from way down here,
I can't see so clear,
when it's all a bunch of gears running the world.
And people think they know,
but they reap what they sew,
and keep it all to themselves.

I've got a way with words,
but you've got a way of running your mouth.

We're fleeing leaves to find the summer season,
but we're all alone.
Money lost is more grass gained,
and we're gonna keep it all to ourselves.
'Cause the view from way down here,
I can't see so clear,
when it's all a bunch of gears running the world.
And people think they know,
but they reap what they sew,
and keep it all to themselves.

I've got a way with words.
But you've got a way of running your mouth.

It stings like a kiss on the lips,
my heart beats to the sway of your hips.
There was a time when we shared a kiss.
I felt the knives from your chapped lips,
when you left an aftertaste...
You left an aftertaste....
of black licorice,

If this is truly who I am,
I cannot disagree.
This is what I wanted.
So why does it mean so much to me?
It can't, I guess, If I am who i plan to be.
It's getting late and the party is winding down.
Half-awake, listening to drinks diminish,
and I'm almost finished..."
