Spray-paint and permanent marker stain my fingers black and red.
The glue from the store doesn't work and Itunes has crashed again.
Can you please help me fix this life that I've led?
Show me something better with grit and guts, that's more genuine.
On the way home from work...
On the way up my stairs...
Every wasted step,
that could have carried me anywhere.
I let them keep me here.
I don't want to sound like I'm giving up.
It's just every awkward, ill-promoted show,
every disinterested crowd.
Every night I can't sing half as loud
as the band you really came to see.
Every repetitious 3-chord pattern set to misery.
If I don't go out of tune, then I'll break another string.
A vicious cycle of debt. I swear to god, I feel like I'm drowing.
And every tour gets harder than the last.
I can't get anyone to write me back.
The folly of youth can only carry you so far, until you understand...
Child, you must understand..
Success is all about timing.
Love is all about settling.
Most growth is based in pain.
It's ok, dreams change with age.
On the way home from work...
On the way up my stairs...
Every wasted step
that could have carried me anywhere.
I let them keep me here.

Lyrics by For the Kid in the Back
A Circling Failure in a Rapidly Decaying Orbit A Cold War Another Bullshit Song About Leaving and Failing Asymptotes Be Careful Sam Breathe Casa Del Karin Clumsy Disconnected Divisions Dude, You Guys are Homeless! Empty Picture Frames Every Girl is the End of the World For Me Everything Will be Alright For Matt Giving Up on Friends Habits Holidays Hopeless Romantic How Am I Not Myself? Letter of Intent My Roaring Twenties New Air Not Quite an Apology Nothing is Fucked. Nothing is Beyond Repair. Off the Road Our Balcony Year September Snow Sleeping All the Time Sober and Hungry Sometimes Friends Fight Summer Romance Super Awkward The Art of Watching Everything Fall Apart The Awkward Act of Love The Difference The Good Times The Pills You Take The Sheep Eats the Flower Ugly Little Moments We Are Not a Concept Wrecked Your Friends Are Starting to Ask Questions
