You pick up yet another paper graced by new and Youthful faces And you wonder if their feet have ever paced these floors with worn-out boots missing laces and sun-bleached broken cases and the hope that every night would lead to something more Chorus: Stickers of bands That no one will ever know Plaster the walls and mirrors As you stare into the cold Eyes of someone who should have seen it all every plank on wooden stages That you can't call your own But there are nights when it all falls into place The low lights hitting so many faces The roar of every single voice As they sing in unison But you watch your friends build families As you just build your press release Every bullet point a show that took you from those you loved Chorus Staring into green room ceilings Another night winding down Sitting on leather couches Head in your hands as you ask how 100 stairs, 1,000 ceilings A million nights, winding down Sitting on broken, leather couches Head in your hands as you just ask how I just don't know

Someday a mountain of gold cans Will cover my body As it's swallowed by the ground underneath My tombstone will read:"here lies the dive bar king, Crawled on hands and knees to establishments that closed at three, Learned all the names of the greats and promptly forgot them And stumbled back out into the street" All the friends that you have shunned Become the ones you've rightly won Before the morning comes Scanning the rooms for the last Signs of life in the pre dawn You cast your gaze like a Dragnet across the bar floors Can't catch a single stare Glazed eye or a bored yawn Even if you could Morning comes, they'd be gone All of the friends that you have shunned Become the ones you've rightly won Before the morning comes All of the ones that wished you hell Become the ones that know you well Before the bar light swells Bridge All of the ones that knew you well Become the ones that wish you hell Before the bar lights swell All of the friends you've rightly won Become the ones that you will shun Before the morning comes

If phones still had chords we'd trace a Round the curves and the plastic knots as I spouted yet a Nother cliche "Baby you know I'll be home Soon" it's just a matter of Hours , long days, nights, weeks and Months I'm away Sorry I can't talk right now It's getting too loud and I can't hear let down sighs you make in the growing space between my words and your lips Chorus: Miles of wires Split through treetops Across the great modernized plains Landlines we won't use All the refuse Cuts through the sky and still remains And Soon time takes it's toll as the miles these worn tires have rolled a- cumulate like dead skin on the bed you lay without hands to comfort without eyes to stare into you're heart beats softer till your decision is made you listen as I just rehash of the words that you have grown tired of and rob them of any meaning as slowly they fade away from cold ears Chorus If phones still had chords we'd trace a Round the curves and the plastic knots as I told you "Baby, I can't today".
