THESE THINGS JUST TAKE TIME

SO I HEAR HE STOLED YOU 2ND WIND
& THAT'S ONE LESS CONSLOATION FOR THIS STATE I'M IN
I COULD JUST NUMB MYSELF FOR DAYS ON END
BUT THIS TIME I CAN'T DRINK MYSELF
OUT OF THIS HERE MOOD I'M IN

WHEN THE OUT DOOR'S FULL THE IN DOOR STALLS
SO SELL ME SOME DISTRACTION CAUSE I'M UP FOR A FALL
COULD I FIND IT IN SKIN, FIND IT IN YOU?
COULD I FIND IT SOMETHING I THOUGHT WAS THROUGH?

AND GOD, I NEVER THOUGHT IT'D COME TO THIS
NEVER THOUGHT I'D MAKE IT ON YOUR LIST
IT'S A TEN CENT HEAVEN AND FIVE CENT GOD
I REALLY THOUGHT YOU'D BEAT 'EM AGAINST TALL ODDS
AND GOD, I NEVER THOUGHT IT'D COME TO THIS
BUT THESE THINGS JUST TAKE TIME

FILLED MY COMMITMENTS NOW IT'S DAY TO DAY
AND WHEN I'M THROWIN' TRASH
I CAN'T DECIDE WHAT THERE IS TO SAVE
I COULD JUST NUMB MYSELF FOR WEEKS ON END
BUT THIS TIME I CAN'T LOSE MYSELF
OUT OF THIS HERE MOOD I'M IN
