Good Life The Drinking With The Girls Lyrics

Drinking With The Girls Lyrics

you thought you had it made,

like the songs would write themselves.

but your words ran out of ink,

and your fingers lost the chords

now you lay around so bored. 

and you hit the bar at 2:00,

and you waste your time on girls-

they know they're getting used.

they love the pain that you create

the drunken fights you fabricate-

cause they've been hurt too...worse than you.

you told yourself it's not your fault-

you told them not to get involved.

some bullshit excuse to escape unbruised.

but they move on, while you're stuck

hating your self-deprication-your self-

centered songs. the space you've created

between your words and your actions.

these loveless liasons have left you alone-

all you've gained is a loss.



you wish, and you wish, and you wish

you could regain a love you

never even had to begin with.



you wished and prayed and tried to stay

in love-or at least in your lover's 

good graces..just to keep it going.

cause when they leave the drinks get

stronger...and much, much more frequent

for the sloppy, drunk boys. they hide in their

basements where the songs write themselves.

yeah, it used to be easy before we

got lazy and drank with the girls.

"no, i know it's not your fault.

no, you said not to get involved."

whatever makes you happy. whatever 

you need to believe in all thhose 

self-inflicted tragedies.

you scribble them down on that miserable sound,

i guess this is the good life. 



your self-deprication has made 

its translation-these lyrics

are done.
