lyrics

Animals

You talked me into this then you walked away from it.
You called me to this place. You didn't even want to know my name. I think I ran away because I got to scared. I would have fired but I was unprepared. Its kind of hard to sleep when you're holding on. You never know what you got till its gone. Even if I never get this whole thing down. It wouldn't even matter who you told by now. You know I'm gone. Yeah, I'm doing other things. You should probably just carry on. Even if you never came up short before, this is a lesson in learning to lose with grace. Will you ever let this go? Or will you spend all your nights drunk screaming about being alone? Even if I never get these damn words down, it wouldn't even matter what you wrote by now. Its in a song in a club downtown. Everybody is singing along. The whiskey tastes better now. You missed me, yeah, I could tell. Your always running your mouth. You think I won't let you live that down? Here's a toast to irony an alcohol, yeah, we are all just animals, we're lost. I'm done. I finally saw the bigger picture. Who would have known that we'd all turn out this way? Here's a toast to medicine and alcohol thats got me up against the wall and I won't run. Because we are all just animals, yeah, animals too busy having fun. You talked me into this then you walked away from it.
You called me to this place. You didn't even want to know my name. I think I ran away because I got to scared. I would have fired but I was unprepared. Its kind of hard to sleep when you're holding on. You never know what you got till its gone.
