Greener Pastures

So let’s talk about life
And nights we were fucked up
Nights we felt let down
Nights on the ground trying to die because we felt so messed up
The times we would sit on the edge of the bed with our heads in our hands
Just wanting someone to talk to so we can let go and we can fess up


Or the times we would sing in the shower
We would scream to the sky hoping that somebody would hear us
When nobody would hear us, we’d sing a little louder like a crowd just hoping to refind some of our lost love
Find some of our lost love or exactly how it cost us
How it turned us in to a crowd of unknown people where we shuffled in the back feeling like we really lost it
Or the families we had staring at the stars, crying in the night wondering how it was that they lost us



We were stuck on the edge of a tear on our best nights
Trying to go running through, but we were running blue
We escaped the love, we escaped the passion
We were fighting an impossible fight just trying to get some compassion
But it was never lasting
It wasn’t ever lasting
I hope next time we can find a way to get to greener pastures
