lyrics

I don’t mean to scare you,
but don’t leave the lights on for me tonight
I won’t be making it home until I’m making things right.

Twenty-two years have gone and passed me by
and I still feel like I'm not doing things right,
and I know, I'm slowly losing hope.

I don't mean to scare you,
but don't leave your lights on for me tonight.
I won't be making it home until I'm making things right.

You know me all too well.
You know me better than I know myself.

Cause' every time I get my feet on the ground
the tide grows just a little bit stronger,
It carries me back out.
And as I feel myself sinking under the weight of all the pressure
I'm calling out your name.

I knew things wouldn't be easy
but I never thought they would be so hard,
just to keep everything together
and keep it all from falling apart.

Please tell me things get better,
cause' I can't keep wasting my time.
With each day that's moving forward
I'm falling farther behind.

Things seem so far away,
so out of reach,
so incomplete.
But if you want it then you got it,
it's a matter of time
before I get it all together
and take back what's mine.

I don't mean to scare you,
but don't leave your lights on for me tonight.
I won't be making it home until I'm making things right.

You know me all too well.
You know me better than I know myself.

Cause' every time I get my feet on the ground
the tide grows just a little bit stronger,
It carries me back out.
And as I feel myself sinking under the weight of all the pressure
I'm calling out your name.

This time it's gone too far
to hang my head again….
depend on all my dead-end friends…
I'm calling out your name.

The tide's rolling in,
I'm losing ground again.
The tide's rolling in,
I'm losing ground again.

I don't mean to scare you,
but don't leave your lights on for me tonight.
I won't be making it home until I'm making things right.

Things seem so far away,
so out of reach,
so incomplete.
But if you want it then you got it,
it's a matter of time
before I get it all together
and take back what's mine.

Sure, it's easy to say they sound like Steve Albini with some delay, but that really misses the bigger picture: Albini never used delay. They guys are doing some things that Steve never thought to and that's worth a listen. Gbro
