lyrics

all eyes on the calendar,
another year i claim
of total indifference.

to hear the days pile up
with decisions to be made;
i'm sure all of
them were wrong.

into this song,
i send myself;
and with these drinks,
i plan to collapse and forget.

this wasted year.
these wasted years.
devoted friends
they disappear and

i'm sorry about the phone call,
and needing you;
some decisions you don't make.
i guess it's just like breathing
and not wanting to;
there are some things you can't fake.

yeah, there are some things you can't fake.

well i guess that it's typical
to cling to memories you'll never get back again.
and to sort through old photographs
of a summer long ago;
or a friend that you used to know.

and there below
his frozen face
where you wrote the name
and that ancient date
that ancient date and
you can't believe
he's really gone
when all that's left is a fucking song.

i'm sorry about the phone call
and waking you.
i know that it is late.
but thank you for talking,
cause i needed to.
yeah, some things just can't wait.
