| Tell me with your back against the bottom
|
| There’s somethin' 'bout these days that got you caught up Toss another empty bottle to the bay
|
| What did you say, what did you do When life came crashing down on you?
|
| I should have seen it when you broke down
|
| Stop and listen, and stop acting like you don’t have a position
|
| Cause I could see it from the jump when I kissed you
|
| And feel it through the walls that you constantly put your fist through
|
| You’re pissed, but you ain’t gotta fight like this
|
| Life isn’t worth a dime with a knife-sliced wrist
|
| Spent a whole bunch of time trying to write your list
|
| But the (last thing’s allowed?) to make you bite your… lip
|
| Little girl, little love, little hold my head to the ground in the mud
|
| Little I’m not comin' back up 'til the whole sky falls down on top of me And breaks my trust
|
| Now run, and think about it all
|
| Think about the last chance given and the first round fall
|
| And if that can’t get you back to where you start
|
| Just call, and meet me in the place where we always are
|
| Tell me with your back against the bottom
|
| There’s somethin' 'bout these days that got you caught up Toss another empty bottle to the bay
|
| What did you say, what did you do When life came crashing down on you?
|
| I should have seen it when I came back, yup
|
| I shoulda…
|
| Cause you don’t see the things that I really wish that you would’ve
|
| No you don’t make the effort I really
|
| Thought that you could’ve
|
| To unlock the cage where you put us And take another stab at it Fly fishin' for the catch
|
| With my heart tied onto the only line that you cast
|
| And if I don’t sink this raft right now
|
| I’mma float down the river 'til my Last breaths, gasp
|
| Yeah, little lock, little key, little drop my boxes of thoughts into the sea
|
| No, I’m not comin' back out
|
| 'til the whole world stops in its tracks and admits its defeat
|
| For good
|
| Back to the shackles, back to the comfort of the things that
|
| Attack you
|
| And make you cold
|
| I’m over tryin' to make this home, so just go And leave me in the place that we’ll always know
|
| Tell me with your back against the bottom
|
| There’s somethin' 'bout these days that got you caught up Toss another empty bottle to the bay
|
| What did you say, what did you do When life came crashing down on you? |
