Verse 1
In A Bar In Nowhere Maine
We Spent A Month There In One Nights Drain
And As The Night Got Pricey
Things Got Dicey
Inside Of Me
Verse 2
In The Flash Of Puke’s Surrender
I Relived My Life Back Through Every Bender
And Caught A Glimpse Of A Life Misremembered
In Perfect Splendor

Verse 3
On An Office Floor In Maryland
Baby I Was Born In The Lion’s Den
With A Loose Leaf Head And A Ball Point Pen
To Call My Only Friends
Verse 4
On Ennui Wе Cut Our Teeth
But Who Gave Loneliness Such Long A Lеash?
I Chased That Dream And All I Got Was A Niche
To Call My Own

Verse 5
We’re So Busy Cutting Costs
Unless It’s Sending Christ Crawling Back To The Cross
That By The Time We Noticed Just How Much We Had Lost
We Was Already On Our Own
Verse 6
In A Machine Where Nothing Works
And Fear’s Just Part Of The Furniture
There’s A Debt Everybody Like You Incurs
And A Lifetime Of “It Could Always Get Much Worse”

But I Just Want A Reason To Stay
But Home Was Never Home To Us Anyway
And Every Fall From Grace Is Less Than Soft
But Baby, Were We Really Born To Walk It Off?

Verse 7
Our First Regret Was Growing Old
But This Life Works Like A Palindrome
You’re Spit Out Or Spitting Up Into The Great Unknown
At Both Ends Of It
Verse 8
Some Nights Will Make You Lose Your Voice
But You Pays Your Money And You Takes A Choice
And If The Morning Comes, Well Baby, Just Rejoice!
To Have Someone To Regret It With
