Living Like This

Last night I had the same dream again
You were outside; you were waiting with our friends
My damn towels wouldn’t dry
I was standing there naked and drenched

’Cause even in my dreams
I’m still an inconvenience
It was raining inside, and everyone was agreein’
That I needed a hobby
So you got me a present

Well this is better than
A sharp stick in the eye
Yeah this is nice and all
But what the hell am I
Supposed to do
With a bowling ball at my age?
I think I wastеd all
The time I could have triеd

Oh, is this it?
Is this everything?
I had the whole damn world
In the palm of my hands
Had the whole damn thing
At my fingertips
Will I ever really get it together
Before my hands grow cold and stiff?
The thought of dyin’ ain’t bad
Yeah, the sad part is livin’ like this
Livin’ like this

Last night I had the best time with you
We were layin’ down
We were lookin’ at the moon
And I started to brace
For a life with a love I could lose
See, that’s the story with me
Been walkin’ with blinders on
Like a horse in the city
I just can’t face an unexpected truth

Well this is better than
A swift kick in the teeth
But maybe I need one
To make the change I need
Or I’ll pretend everything is fine as always
I’ll eat a birthday cake
With all the ones I keep

Oh, is this it?
Is this everything?
I had the whole damn world
In the palm of my hands
Had the whole damn thing
At my fingertips
Will I ever really get it together
Before my hands grow cold and stiff?
The thought of dyin’ ain’t bad
Yeah, the sad part is livin’ like this
