lyrics

Soft handshakes
Painted on grin
A little effort really wouldn’t hurt
Gaze right through
Out my head
Eyes that flitter looking for something better instead
When I’m right here
Concentrate
A conversation takes two to orchestrate
A greater problem
A boring puzzle
No desire to solve him

It’s like driving the truth
Stretching out one’s youth
I lost a tooth, i lost control of my whole life
Such an obvious stain
We sure love to point the blame
When all it really takes is one eye on the road

When it hurts to breathe
When no one can believe
That you can’t get up with the sun and the rest of us
But really who would notice
With eyes set on the prize
Flash cards
So hard
Already forgot your name

It’s like driving the truth
stretching out one’s youth
I lost a tooth, i lost control of my whole life
Such an obvious stain
We sure love to point the blame
When all it really takes is one eye on the road
