lyrics

Good lookin kid, you ruined the reputation you wanted. They made you a dime of the dozen. You looked to things like cryin and fuckin.

Good lookin kid, who you are isn't six feet from where you started today. You've got your ear to the ground but that doesn't make you closer.

Start livin kid, you wanna be still and build but the world keeps spinning around. You're a sucker for a broken smile, cause you're a quiet talker, still born mire, tongue tied reading your French letters.

Start livin kid, if only you could read my lips you'd know that I didn't say shit. I'm looking for a voice that I once heard. If it doesn't stay it can't be learned. How many times can you wake up in a strangers bed, with a heavy heart and tired hands? Hopeful eyes can't rest on a tired head.

Get it together kid, you bit the hand that fed. Preparation is daunting, it's more fun to tell your friends. You've got burns on your shirt, dead ends in your head, find another muse and start again.
