Drinking With The Girls

You thought you had it made

Like the songs would write themselves

But your words ran out of ink

And your fingers lost the chords

Now you lay around so bored

And you hit the bar at 2:00

And you waste your time on girls

They know they're getting used

They love the pain that you create

The drunken fights you fabricate

Because they've been hurt too, worse than you

You told them not to get involved

Some bullshit excuse to escape unbruised

But they move on, while you're stuck

Hating your self-deprecation, your self-centered songs

The space you've created

Between your words and your actions

These loveless liasons have left you alone

All you've gained is a loss



You wish and you wish and you wish

You could regain a love you never had to begin with



You wished and you prayed and tried to stay in love

Or at least in your lover's good graces

Just to keep it going

Because when they leave, the drinks get stronger

And much, much more frequent

For the sloppy drunk boys

They hide in their basements

Where the songs write themselves

Yeah, it used to be easy

Before we got lazy and drink with the girls

"No, I know it's not your fault

No, you said not to get involved"

Whatever makes you happy

Whatever you need to believe

In all these self-inflicted tragedies

You scribble them down on that miserable sound

I guess this is the good life



Your self-deprication has made it's translation
