lyrics

All the good people of the world are out holding hands
Wearing their sweaters, buying drinks and asking for this dance
I used to believe them when they said "the best will come"
But now I don't feel so inspired and I don't feel so young

But darling, don't let me blow this
I will walk away like I didn't even notice

And I look for you like a soldier for a land mine
Each step I knew taking me closer still to hell
I looked at her when she told me she was dying
I stood there cool after always looking well
There we're nerves to be numbed
And songs to be sung
There was a minister's daughter for every criminal's son
And everything was fine
I threaded little white lies
When the world got you down I was out getting high

I lived it, breathed it, even started to believe it
But a good thing only goes so far
With your jean skirts, green shirts
Your daddy just made a speech at church
And your momma's killing time down at the bar

But darling, don't let me blow this
I will walk away
And I won't look back
I'd just forget it all
Like I didn't even notice
