lyrics

a lot of things make a lot of sense
but his nick names and he aren't one of them
they're waiting viciously
they come in tens
waiting for something dumb to be done with

a beer in his hands
a tear in his eyes
from when he's laughing so hard
he can't help it but cry
a tongue so dry
he'll do anything to wet it
over the moon
and around the regret

theres a sense of defeat when no one's competing
victory's avoided for a fleeting feeling
a lesson is learned
revelation arrives
while you stand there burnt
to a city on fire

anything can rival rome
from its widest reaches
to its weakest lows
but now it rests that southern sun
having the pleasure of only falling once

her she'll be lucky if its three times the charm
cause that fourth time around is looking mighty strong
it won't be long till she's back in bed
with the same old song running thru her head

"last night leave me alone"
i felt my share, i taste the burn
morning arrives
what a surprise
the dream keeps trying to keep the dream live

i see my friends in waves
i don't know if their smiles stay
or worry wipes across their spotless face
the moment that the spotlight fades

that someday circus
skeleton curtain
got an eye for the things you'd be a fool to flirt with
and its working
time and time again
