lyrics

We've run in circles, we're run aground
In the face of all our failure we do not make a sound
We might be losing, but we're self righteous as hell
We may be going nowhere and that may be just as well

Crying out now
You're tempting fate
I've been wanting and wasting for nothing
Hoping you could change my ways
But you're lost in the ocean
You're lost at sea and I'm begging, praying Jesus
Saying "Please, baby, please"

Thought that you lost me
Well you almost did
But I've got nowhere else to go
I've been waiting since we were kids

Getting older, getting angry, getting harder to understand
Feels like no one is ever listening
They don't even pretend

The well is empty and the river is dry
It's hard to think of 2008
It makes me want to die and I sing
Older brother, where have you been?
I've been waiting for something
I've been waiting for anything

Living in your shadow sure beats living by myself
and I'll try not to get so lonely
If you'll try and get some help

Wasted without worry
We drank our way up to the top shelf
Time it builds up fury, with every story I retell
