Album: Play the Guitar Drunk Until Your Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit; A Collection of Acoustic Renditions and B-Sides

All the lights in Chicago burned out brightly in my window
as I sat in a darkened room and listened to all the old soul
tunes that I heard when I was younger and you know I always

wondered why the man on that record sounded so damn so sad

He was just burning at both ends. Starting fires is a trend
that you perfected well I neglected to be just like you
and now I'm burning at both ends, burning bridges,
walking over them, if you can walk on water well
why cant I on air? So

somebody tell my friends I'm not coming home in time
I'm drinking with myself again cause another "friend" just died
singing line after each line remembering the times
screaming why god did you why did you take his life

never knew the right cards I should play
I never thought id be the one to say
I'll never grow up. I'll never grow up.
and you can say the things you want to say
run your mouth and talk me down well that's okay
you'll never grow up you'll never grow up and you're

burning at both ends, starting fires and breaking plans
taking my heart and soul, in your own hands
and now I'm burning at both ends, burning bridges,
losing friends, telling myself that these problems never
end so

somebody tell my friends I'm not coming home in time
I'm drinking with myself again cause another "friend" just died
singing line after each line remembering the times
screaming why god did you why did you take his life

everything will be alright, not this time not this time
everything will be alright, not this time not this time
(I sing the songs I like to sing and it means the
world to me)

Everything will be alright, not this time not this time
Everything will be alright, not this time not.
I loved my life.
