about

This is a song about the ultimate flaw of expectation and how when we try to change others to obtain our goal, our ultimate solace, or end of worries we only have ourselves to blame when we are found once again in an internal state of unrest.

lyrics

One thousand more cigarettes than you could ever smoke
You were the baseline you were the only line you were the calloused coast
You were all that I needed but i needed still to breathe
you were the heart inside my chest you were my veins and for you I'd bleed
(Oh yes I'd bleed)

But you know it's just the times that are getting me down
It's this old suburban life in this old hollow town
And oh the last time you said you'd turn your life around
You let me down
(You let me down)

You were all that i needed but i needed love
I was a lonely boy with a lonely heart and a single ace of clubs
It was my gift to you
I was lost in my basement before you came along
I was alone in my life i was alone i wrote no songs for you
But this one's for you

But you know it's just the times that are getting me down
It's this old suburban life in this old hollow town
And oh the last time you said you'd turn your life around
You let me down
(You let me down)

But you know it's just the times that are getting me down
It's this old suburban life in this old hollow town
And oh the last time you said you'd turn your life around
You let me down
(You let me down)
