Best Years
[Verse 1]
Well my knees are creaking
My ears are ringing
It’s like my body’s singing
Some kind of broke down lullaby
But I just keep rolling
Like marbles on the hardwood
Yeah I scatter like the stars would
Before I quit looking to the sky
[Chorus]
And one too many times
When you’re always leaving
Nobody cares if you stay
And some nights when I drive
I’m not sure who steers
I can’t tell if I’m wasted
Or just wasting all my best years
[Verse 2]
She said you look thinner
Are you skipping dinner?
Or are you skipping everything?
Because even when you’re here
You’re not really there
I said I’m always tired
But I am never sleepin'
It’s like somebody creeps in
And turns on the goddamn hallway light
[Chorus 2]
Every single night
When you’re always leaving
Nobody cares if you stay
Some nights when I drive
I’m not sure who steers
I can’t tell if I’m wasted
Or just wasting all my best years
[Verse 3]
I used to live here
In a pile of steel and lumber
Yeah, I used to have a number
Now I just sit and count the days
And we had a kitchen
Where you would burn that breakfast
And I would call you reckless
Now I just never think to call
[Chorus]
And one too many times
When you’re always leaving
Nobody cares if you stay
And some nights when I drive
I’m not sure who steers
I can’t tell if I’m wasted
Or just wasting all my best years
[Chorus]
And one too many times
When you’re always leaving
Nobody cares if you stay
And some nights when I drive
I’m not sure who steers
I can’t tell if I’m wasted
Or just wasting all my best years
[Outro]
I’m always tired
But I am never sleepin'
I’m always tired
But I am never sleepin'
