lyrics

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
