lyrics

I used to get high with this waitress
for 47 weeks straight we stayed stoned
It wasn't love but it was painless
And neither one could stand to be alone
And on occasion inspiration illuminated in her eyes
And she'd turn on, she used to say

I think I was meant for more than this
Was there something that someone said I missed
What the hell are we waiting for
Move on

And as for me I had a chest pain
That only 7 drinks a day could dull
And a hyperactive right brain
The pain has laminated to my skull
And I never had the right words
To spill the secrets I'd have died to tell
And never will

We were coming down so hard back then
Softly strangling strangers into friends
Hypnotized in a sleeping spell
Time won't

Return the smiles we leave behind
The point from A to B is a straight line down
No stops, no turning around
Just take the ride and check it out

It's tough to tell
I was coming down so hard back then
Just the same as today and the state I'm in
I've been searching for magic half my life
Never been any closer than on that night
What the hell were we waiting for
Time wont
