I wish that I could take back every drunken night So selfishly keeping myself Distant and doubtful and basically an asshole And I tried to stay young and in the womb of a bottle But I just keep on getting older and the bottles keep piling up It's such a foolish attempt It's such a foolish attempt It's such a foolish attempt To hold on to a time When idiocy had no consequence To hold on to a time When idiocy had no consequence To hold on to a time When idiocy had no consequence To hold on to a time When idiocy had no consequence And I'll try to keep singing Over the telephone ringing And I'll try to keep singing Over the telephone ringing And I'll try to keep singing Over the telephone ringing And I'll try to keep singing Over the telephone ringing Running from the age I should be embracing Running from the age I should be embracing We're all so satisfied To be just barely alive For lack of anything better to do For all the shit I have to swallow The water versus the anchor The water versus the anchor The water versus the anchor The water versus the anchor
