lyrics

I’m just a man
Why can’t you understand?
These things you thought you knew
Are buried in the silence around you

And I couldn’t see
Though the signs were all around me
I waited for your call
As January snow began to fall

You can’t count the ways
And I can’t count the days
You know I have been so tired living these two lives

You played your hand
But castles made of sand
All crumble eventually
And we all find our way back to the sea

You come telling tales
Of alcohol and scales
And I’ve got my own stories too
But there’s no one left to hear them when we’re through

You just can’t behave
And I can’t ride the wave
I know you have been so tired living these two lives

And we’re not getting any younger
Oh! These wasted hours!

You have been to blame
And I have been ashamed
You know we have been so tired living these two lives
