lyrics

I swear to god I’m not running I’m just sick of standing still
12 years down of struggling to swallow one too many pills
Those old hands are spinning faster and faster
Soldier hold fast, now, brace for disaster
Or just the dawning of a brand new day
I’ve got the will, wow I just need the way

I’m running low on second chances
I’m running low on olive branches
Taking my honey and running to the left side of the setting sun
Promise to drop each other lines from time to time
If only just to be sure we’re both still alive
When you go your way and I go mine
Brother, I hope this won’t be the last time..

We say goodbye, oh the time does fly
And we’re both far too good at starting over
So raise one high with me one last time
‘Cause I was never one for crying sober

It’s hard enough to get you out of your bed
A whole other thing to get you out of your head
And that ain’t now way to spend a life
Sure ain’t no way to keep a wife
We could spend all of the time in the world reminiscing
Moaning and pissing about the things that we’re missing
But I’d rather let it ride than watch the world pass me by

I know last winter was harder than most
Leveling spirits leaving wandering ghosts
Then the summer came life a freight train run off the tracks

And I’m pretty sure it was right around Independence Day
You said “I’m pretty sure I’m dying”
I said “I’m pretty sure we all are at our own pace”
We make our beds and our bets in the choices that we make
You said “I’m pretty tired of fighting”
I said “I’m pretty sure we all are in our own ways”

No this ain’t goodbye, how the time does fly
And we’re both far too good at starting over
So raise one high with me one last time
‘Cause I was never one for crying sober
