It ain't like you saw it coming
It ain't like you were all there
In that space between chance and trying
There ain't much time to get things straight
I've seen you beat yourself to stupor
And I've seen you sleeping late
You got a right to say times have worn you down
But don't be heavier than they
You should get your sh** together
You should really have a try
Cause that sun it also rises
And you'll look like sh** man
When you meet that light
You and most no one else
Don't get along too well
And you'd like to think that you can't
But there's a stranger I know wants to meet you
He's got the same name as yours and he's wearing your pants
You should get your sh** together
You should really have a try
You'll be waking up old
By a stranger so cold
And that's no way nobody
Be needing to go
Stop dreaming and get on
Stop dreaming and live on
There is still something left
Beneath the ribs in your chest
Your just in need of some reminding
It ain't all about loss and a loneliness
There's a time and a place
For a grown man to cry
