Tonight the greens are wilting, sickly yellows underneath Some box telling me to speed poking up from the concrete But I'm traveling slow, getting lapped by the breeze I'm floating in the river, the hours flow through me I say I’ll do better this time It’s a new day I can have another shot ‘cause It’s all the same I say I’ll try harder next time But you know me You can find me looking lost down on Easy street Looking down the road to where the shadows meet They're dealing in contraband time It's not really stolen, just the stacks of minutes that Everyone leaves behind Today I'm not a buyer, i don't need their fix I'm stayin out in the sunshine Where the air is clear and so is my head These memories are mine Usually I want to go so I listen when they're tellin me to leave But tonight those greens are garish, and the yellows just a tease The reds are full to bursting, ready to be squeezed And I'm gonna take them, (take them), take them between my teeth I say I’ll do better this time It’s a new day I can have another shot ‘cause It’s all the same I say I’ll try harder next time But you know me You can find me looking lost down on Easy street Can't stop thinking about the things I never did Cruising past the locals (those yokels) and the turns I missed I finally figured out why it was all green but now Here I’ve stopped (I’ve stopped), I've stalled, can't pursue my dreams I say I’ll do better this time It’s a new day I can have another shot ‘cause It’s all the same I say I’ll try harder next time But you know me You can find me looking lost down on Easy street

Casey I’ve written too much about us I can’t pretend we were in love And when you look back, what will you see? Your wasted twenties and pictures of me Casey this gin won’t drink itself Thinking too much about what it all meant Why do we put ourselves through this hell? Forgotten dreams and those years we’ve spent You said we were done. You wanted more But all that I had was lying on the floor Well it ain’t right what you did that night But baby it’s your life - whoa I won’t wait for you You’re dancing with gin in my mind And your shift break is not enough time Casey to fix what is wrong with us Maybe we’re just not in love It’s been years now since you left Your heart is filled with regret You call and say I fucked up But Casey it’s not enough You said we were done. You wanted more But all that I had was lying on the floor Well it ain’t right what you did that night But baby it’s your life - whoa I won’t wait for you

It's perfect the way your hair falls on your shoulders In just the right way and you don't have to try So let's go out tonight we'll paint the town I promise we'll have one hell of a time I’m drinking away my woes tonight at the end of the week with you I’m drinking away my woes tonight at the end of the week with you “Say, baby can I buy you a drink.” You flash me a smile, is this going well? I sure would like to know your name So come sit with me, we can talk for a while Yeah, I’m pretty sure this is going fine I’m drinking away my woes tonight at the end of the week with you I’m drinking away my woes tonight at the end of the week with you You ordered a vodka cran with a twist of lime You tell me it’s your favorite drink And that’s when you drop the bomb That’s your boyfriend tending bar I’m drinking away my woes tonight at the end of the week without you I’m drinking away my woes tonight at the end of the week without you

Hold my hand as you say goodbye to me I won’t be afraid - anymore I’ll just move on like I guess I’m meant to do Onto something new the moment that you walk out that door You don’t know what you’re doing to me or How much this hurts You don’t know what I still feel for you or Maybe you just don’t care I wish I could let you go So I’m moving out and moving on and Now I’m gonna sing this song to Remind myself every day to forget [about] you ‘Cause this is where you left us now Still trying to understand how You became so detached given everything I do You don’t know what you did to me but It’s better this way Or maybe I just tell myself that so I’ll Get through the day Instead of hoping you ask for strike 3 It became clear to me you said goodbye When you went off and fucked that guy Everything we ever had you threw in the trash I’ll do the same I’ll play your game I’ll go home with oh-what’s-her-name It doesn’t matter anymore because you’re in my past You don’t know what I’m doing tonight and Let’s keep it that way ‘Cause I’m adapting to these changes and Gettin’ a little strange My life is better without you I put those words in my own mouth Thinking they’d feel good - lied to myself I’ll just let go as I guess I’m supposed to do And I mean it this time - can’t stay stuck on you Or I’ll never go on with my life

I get no weekend working my nine-to-five That’s 9pm to 5am in this shitty little dive Beer and an omelette at 7 in the morning No one gave my liver a god damn warning My friends all make ends meet just putting in their time Not relying on someone else to pad their bottom line Maybe it’s time to grow up and make some sort of change A job in the office just sounds so fucking strange Weight in my pockets working in the office Waking up early for that meeting at 8 Sitting in front of the computer seeing what’s online Here from 9-5 making good use of my time Can't go in hungover, my twenties are over Why did I do this to myself? I miss getting wasted on random weeknights Staying out late getting into bar fights Habits and routine I’m in bed by 9:15 Only 25 and barely half alive Put on my suit and tie pretend to be human til Friday night I’ll only drink the koolaid if it’s really suicide Sneaking to my cube an hour late chugging coffee just to stay sane working for someone else does nothing for myself The boss checks out early expects us to stay late Fuck that I’m salary I’ll still get paid Weight in my pockets working in the office Waking up early for that meeting at 8 Sitting in front of the computer seeing what’s online Here from 9-5 making good use of my time Can't go in hungover, my twenties are over Why did I do this to myself? I miss getting wasted on random weeknights Staying out late getting into bar fights Fuck corporate bullshit and food service too My american dream is just to have a chance at a better life not just scraping by I only feel alive when we’re on stage Weight in my pockets working in the office Waking up early for that meeting at 8 Sitting in front of the computer seeing what’s online Here from 9-5 making good use of my time Can't go in hungover, my twenties are over Why did I do this to myself? I miss getting wasted on random weeknights Staying out late getting into bar fights
