I used to think that I'd never find the other end
of the touch that drags me down and make me whole again
we drank that poison as long as we shared with friends
until they fell asleep and we lost our safety net
we fell upstream of the flood that brought us in
and the hallway leads us to the quiet fringe
I'm grown up now but I see what I saw then
I found myself in your red-headed confidence
I have this dream that I'm planning my own death
when I see the sun and leave to go to work again
there's got to be more to this than fighting debt
why can't we live as simple as we lived back then
you don't have a husband but you have a lot of shallow friends
and one married man reflecting on his life again
a bump in the road that leads to happiness
like Jesus you came to carry me from my sins
I got love now but I still feel loneliness
like I'm stuck in a room with all the things I never did
you're there too and you're sleeping with all my friends
a reminder of a life I was scared to live
