The Things We Are

I'm sorry I don't always finish the things you start.
I guess we weren't always the things that we are.
I know you don't just hang on every word,
'cause too often I take too many turns,
and I think if we both just calm down now,
I think we can turn it all around...
'Cause you and me, we're better than this shit,
and I've got the pictures to prove it.
You and me, we're better than this shit,
and I know that we'll get through it.
I'm finally starting to understand the words you speak,
and I think you're starting to absorb my vocabulary.
I know you don't just hang on every word,
'cause too often I take too many turns,
and I think if we both just calm down now,
I think we can turn it all around
And as for me, I'm getting ready for something I've never had before,
And as for me, I'm getting ready to stay instead of run through the door.

Oh don't you sing about all of the things you lost,
'cause you've got more than you could ever dream of.
Your American appetite, always wanting more.
Your American heart is always such a bore.
Just because they're "somebody" doesn't mean you need to be
somebody you're not.
Just because they have money, doesn't mean you need to be
anything more than your daddy was, man. Ya know?
Did it feel good, when they reached their hands up under, beneath your skirt?
And did it feel alright, even though they never asked if you wanted it?
Oh don't you sing about all of the things you lack.
All together we marched abreast and broke his back.

If we take a walk down Addy, is it gonna lead us back to the same place?
If I take a stroll down G, do you think I'll catch a glimpse of your face?
They all got so old and never went anywhere
And even if they knew of my pity, would they care?
It's just my projected discontent that keeps them sad in my eyes,
but we're just paying the rent, so let centricity die.
Hawaiian shirts at 50 degrees, she smoked cigarettes, we were only 14.
Hawaiian shirts at 50 degrees, high on percocet I puked in the street.
We're 32, we're 26, we're 14;
We all got sick of the same things.
We're 32, we're 26, we're 14;
We all got sick from the same things.

And if we all go down just for another one,
you're just a wreck, you flew away and headed straight for the sun.
And if we all go down for another one,
it's just addition to the bucket cause we're having some fun.
But we were squandering love...
Where was I when she wanted somebody else?
I was up to my knees in the knees of somebody else.
Where was I when I wanted somebody else?
I was up to my knees in a self righteous hell.
And if we all go down for just another one,
I'll snag a tape and set a date. You know we're just having fun.
And if we all go down for just another one, you know we're just having fun
I saw them all go down for just another one.
We flew straight into the sun.
Yeah we were squandering love...
