Lately

Maybe tonight we’ll have a good time
Get drunk and feel a bit more alive
Maybe we’ll both relax and unwind
Make love along the way
Seems like we’ve both gotten caught up in
Whatever life does to some long-lost kids
Over being young, scared of falling dead
Wasting up mornings with weary heads
And crawling on by for 9-to-5
Watching dead dreams fade away with time
Praying to gods that are in our minds
Or maybe just in the sky
And lately we’re not doin' enough
Chasing those dreams out of our
And I wish time would loosen up
Instead of just takin' away
Hard to say what matters in the shape I’m in
Barely even matters what medicine
We take to feel better when we’re blue within
Or yearning for something new
Back in the days, just a bit more young
We used to have almost too much fun
Go out with friends and fight off the sun
Wake up and do it again
And now we’ve both stopped asking why
We’re burning up heat in the dim of the night
Dancing with ghosts that have made us cry
And searching for hope
And lately we’re not doin' enough
Chasing those dreams out of our
And I wish time would loosen up
Instead of just takin' away
Maybe tonight could be like old times
Have us a few glasses of wine
Maybe go out into the night
Not worry about the day
Seems like we’ve both gotten caught up in
Whatever life was and whatever life is
Tired of scrapin' by, scared of fallin' dead
