Younger Than A Dead Man

lyrics

My disbelief it comes and goes
like glow from a firefly
My hands work hard – it don’t show
smooth like a grape-hide
I think I’m over and done
but I’m younger than a dead man

I think it’s time for me
to never meet a stranger
I think it’s time for me
to cough up all this anger
It’s been stuck in my throat
with a big apology I own
to you

Yes it’s true I’ve let you down
like I’m paid for your heartache
but that was then, this is now
like you didn’t fucking know that
sometimes I don’t fucking think
but I’m younger than a dead man

I think it’s time for me
to never meet a stranger
I think it’s time for me
to cough up all this anger
It’s been stuck in my throat
with a big apology I own
to you

You can’t take this way from me
tomorrow I’ll be history

You can’t take this way from me
tomorrow I’ll be history
