There's a knot in my throat that I can't swallow When I think about you You're probably driving back right now Back to your hotel room and now Your face is blank, your mind is racing 'till you get there And the summer rain and beers are drowning out your nightmares But the bottles will break But the bottles will break Oh, the bottles will break How long will it take? You have a picture of your daughter in your wallet 'Cuz you're always thinking about her You're wondering how you got so far down You used to be so sure and now Your face is blank, your mind is racing 'till you get there And the summer rain and beers are drowning out your nightmares But the bottles will break But the bottles will break Oh, the bottles will break How long will it take? I've got news for you, brother It's a long way up I've got news for you, brother Freedom is waiting at the top I've got news for you, brother It's an easy coast down, but A coward never forgets the way that he drowns Because he does it to himself, himself You may think that I don't like you, you may think that I don't know The things that you think about and do when you are alone But you can trust me when I say I can feel your broken heart And I know you feel overwhelmed and you don't know where to start But it starts with you, with you And there's a knot in your throat that you can't swallow And now you don't know what to do Your angel wings are probably too big for Your little hotel room and now Your face is blank, your mind is racing 'till you get there And the summer rain and beers are drowning out your nightmares But the bottles will break But the bottles will break Oh, the bottles will break How long will you take?
