And you've just given up
Is it too much to ask for a little honesty here
We've been friends since we've woke up to
Cookie cutter houses grown on every lot
Property tax going up, wages not
Can it be that I'm just nervous
And you've just given up
We've got coffee on every corner
And phones with clash ringtones
Making 8 bucks and hour
Paying 800 to rent alone
The television is blinking in every room in the home
Commute getting longer
Car payments over due
Can it be that I'm just nervous
And you just do what you've got to do
We're walking dogs without leashes
Past parked cars and busy streets
Next to no trespass signs
Blocking fields of perfect green
It's the same old sinking feeling
That you don't know what it means
But you feel like something is missing
Man you sure feel incomplete
I figure I'm just getting nervous
And you're content just to leave it be
We feel no connection to our families
And our friends they're really friends
We get together on holidays
And on occasional weekends
Playing with commitments
Proving useless in the end
What's the point of always smiling
To help others finds content
You may say I'm getting nervous
I feel like I'm fucking caving in
Can it be that I'm just nervous And you've just given up Is it too much to ask for a little honesty here We've been friends since we've woke up to Cookie cutter houses grown on every lot Property tax going up, wages not Can it be that I'm just nervous And you've just given up We've got coffee on every corner And phones with clash ringtones Making 8 bucks and hour Paying 800 to rent alone The television is blinking in every room in the home Commute getting longer Car payments over due Can it be that I'm just nervous And you just do what you've got to do We're walking dogs without leashes Past parked cars and busy streets Next to no trespass signs Blocking fields of perfect green It's the same old sinking feeling That you don't know what it means But you feel like something is missing Man you sure feel incomplete I figure I'm just getting nervous And you're content just to leave it be We feel no connection to our families And our friends they're really friends We get together on holidays And on occasional weekends Playing with commitments Proving useless in the end What's the point of always smiling To help others finds content You may say I'm getting nervous I feel like I'm fucking caving in Explain Request ×
