lyrics

I’m always playing catch up with myself
I’m strung out, put me back on the shelf
No sound will you hear from me today
No songs I wanna play

It’s summer and it’s raining
Just like it always is
Music doesn’t sound like it did
When I was sixteen

When we were believers, daytime dreamers
Just a couple of fish trying to swim upstream

Oh we were the also rans playing guitars in bands
Mama said don’t throw your life away
All the dreams are dead and gone
All that’s left now are the songs
They’re the only thing I ever knew how to do

The mirror’s strange not a friend to me anymore
All changed turn the light off and close the door
Smiles are hard to come by these days
When they come they fade away

Oh we were the also rans playing guitars in bands
Mama said don’t throw your life away
All the dreams are dead and gone
All that’s left now are the songs
They’re the only thing I ever knew how to do

Remember the good times we were so wild and free
Remember the good times maybe I should let them be
Before I see it’s just me alone
Me and my memories

Oh we were the also rans playing guitars in bands
Mama said don’t throw your life away
All the dreams are dead and gone
All that’s left now are the songs
They’re the only thing I ever knew how to do

They successfully removed it, but took all gravitas from my voice when they did. It was when I saw my beloved spoon, the spoon that that I'd had since birth, thrown into the bin with the half chewed umbilical cord that I knew I wanted to be a singer. ... more
