Nerve

There's a lot of nothing in the words I know

But I keep on talking 'cause it feels like home

Feels alright to be growing old

But growing old is just letting go

And it's just the reason I needed to leave this place

Had the whole morning to run away

I had a different image on my mind

It's just it changes always, all the time

And it comes as no surprise it's like

I just don't know what you're doing wrong

Man you've got a lot of nerve

How come all my vices always breed relief

When a sip of gin saves an hour of speech?

And yeh it's fickle and it feels so cheap

But I can rest and I can feel at ease

It's my friends don't know the half they're just listening

I'm at a loss 'cause I'm living it

That's not to say that I'm giving it

It's just that this is how it's always been

And it comes as no surprise it's like

I just don't know what you're doing wrong

Man you've got a lot of nerve

I can't melt all of my worries to nothing

And I would

I keep trying but I always get let down

Somehow

Man you've got a lot of nerve
