lyrics

The things you worked to start
The things that fell apart
You doused a fire that was only embers
For everything you have got
For all the things you are not
If you were someone you'd have to moved to Nashville

You stumble out to your car
Goodbyes outside some bar
You bob and weave between the ditches

It's meetings instead of shows
Vomit in the studio
The years often amount to nothing
Six months of sobriety
Social anxiety
It's gonna stick sometime I promise

Not sure what I did this time
Not sure if I crossed some line
If I see you again I hope you'll tell me

Oh but the joy we found when you made that sound
All the love that surrounded you was wasted
All those walls fell down when you came around
And you poured another round for everyone

All the joy we found when you made that sound
All the love that surrounded you was wasted

All the joy we found when you made that sound
All the love that surrounded you was wasted
All those walls fell down when you came around
And you poured another round for everyone yeah

Some things will barely start before they fall apart
