I Live My Life A Quarter Mile At A Time

A quarter closer to the end

And you sit stone cold, alone

Thinking things cannot possibly get worse

The neutral walls that won't forgive

The jutting concrete furniture

What could have been's flushed out

By flashing white and blue

You had eight or nine up you

Getting home was love to you

Instead got three initials added to your name

A picture taken from inside

All the charm and the lines

Won't help you reconvert

From what you've done this time

Just when you think

That I can't believe this is happening to me

It does

It happens to you

Used to believe

You're spinning freely

Loving me requires a key

Left to bathe in your mistakes

Loaded with hypocrisy

I promise you'll see

That this is never happening to me

Because I live

I live right now

And I can't see

I can't see

See past the thought

That nothing will ever happen to me

So when it does

I won't see

I won't see

Won't see the truth that has been sitting

Right next to me

Just when you think

I can't believe this is happening to me

It does

Trust me, it happens to all of us
