i sat around for hours on end

before and end so clearly breathin to me

i shall no longer play a part of your equation

i missed your boat

i swear you must have stayed off shore

just to avoid sad striations

avoidance has been your trump



still i wait for you

this is the best that i can do

to throw my energy into your apathy

it's the best that i can do



i once had pride i once guts

but i gave up all that shit for the big easy

so now i rely on you to get me through this

i once believed i had a name

but my name has changed

to the numbers on my resume

so i hope that you're impressed



i did it all for you

it's the best that i could do

a little song and dance can have its consequences

it's the best that i can do

to sit around the phone

the pace just waits for you

this is the best that i can do

this is the best that i can do



i sweat it out for hours on end

for an answer clearly breathing to me

i sweat it out for hours on end

for an end so obviously breathing to me
