lyrics

The machine decided to decline her card

I told her richness can be measured in her art

Now she's finding out she's as broke as my heart

And that the bus don't take the same roads as her car

She's got an evil glare even when she tries to grin

She don't like advice about her situation

Now she's trying to take a dip from an empty tin

I told her people in this game can never win

I said "life won't always be great, sometimes you just should be glad you're alive

And it ain't easy for no one, but happiness is always worth a try"

She said "thanks for the advice man, I can't believe I'm getting it for free

But tell me, if you're so wise, what are you doing in the same place as me?"

So now I'm staying away from places that she might

Be stationed on the sofa for a night

Afraid of finding out that she was right

'Cause I never did learn how to take things light

But I still think of her after too much to drink

Importance surfaces when you can't even think

Do you distract yourself and find another fling?

Maybe fear and common sense are the same thing

She's got sheets over your windows, there's no clock but the TV's alway on

And the day that noise was missing, you found the thing smashed out on the lawn

Now the world keeps getting warmer, The Earth begins to show its brand new grass

And that light is so inviting, but is that morning dew

Or broken glass
