Four or five years since you started off
Now you're sleeping in, and you duck the call
You can't remember when you wanted this
They're on the line, but you dig your heels in and resist
The push and pull of the life you chose
Stands in silhouette, drawing close
It's in your head, and it's all around
You start to shake when you hear the sound
It's just a fake when you're wide awake
Those shaking, shivering steps you take
Walk out your back door
It's starting to rain
You thought it was over
But it's still the same
We lay like kids on the dock at night
Too scared to say the words that'll start or end the fight
Keep going over all the thoughts that are in my head
Can only half-hear all those bullshit words she said
Now they're all the same that you've heard before
You're not to blame, but my eyes are sore
It's in your head, and it's all around
Try not to shake when you hear the sound
Your stomach aches, but you're still awake
Those foggy memories from the lake
Walk out your front door
There's a break in the rain
Another year older
But it's still the same
