lyrics

It's time to shake that old screw, I've got a hammer in my hand for you.
I decided to start a new and I'll bang it out of you.
Every day seems just the same, I wait for the tram in the rain,
I go to work and no one knows my name, I come home at the end of the day.

Every time I try to find the words, I lose my line and it, it seems so absurd when I, I try to explain why it's killing me.

I wish I lived in a hotel room or could just get away with you,
We'd order in the whole night through, eat and drink til we couldn't move.
I like the sound of a train going by and the noise of the traffic at night,
As I'm quiet for some time and you lay closely by.

Every time I try to find the words, I lose my line and it, it seems so absurd when I, I try to explain why it's killing me.

I'm starting to miss my electric guitar and you, I wonder if you know how far I will go til I crack,
I know that it's self pitying of me, I just wanted to already be, who I wanted to be.
This is my suicide note, the words I want you to know
But next week I won't feel the same, and maybe nothing's changed.

Every time I try to find the words, I lose my line and it, it seems so absurd when I, I try to explain why it's killing me.
