you called me up you said "please man tell me anything I think I need to hear somebody talk" you said you haven't slept in a week or so but you're not counting "and this town, all the people are the same" don't know why you stick around but you're not the one to blame, and on and on sometimes it's so damn hard to let it go for a life less ordinary when you're there, just let me know beggars and kings what's holding you back? lose your baggage now drive your new car into the next ditch a penny or a crown. you're wishing hell upon your friends never seeing them again they say the first step is the hardest but you're not counting, my old man said: "always keep your neck straight and if life gets tough you'll get tougher and wait" but what did he know? sometimes it gets too hard to let it go for a life less ordinary when you're there you gotta let me know if you never get lost you can never be found will you make it out? because your heart's all yours and yours only to keep do you hear it? do you hear that sound? and then I swore you'd hear from me sometimes I miss you, honestly but good things come to those who wait or so they say, I'll wait another day
