Pick up the phone I know you're there

It's almost closing time

& we can toss down one more shot

before last call



are you ok?

I swear to God

I gotta get out of this house

I miss the days when I'd just

not come home at all..



so, don't you cry, it'll give you lines

around your eyes

you gotta try not to live so much of

life alone.

& if I see you getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle

take me home, take me home, I'll take

you home



remember when we used to stumble

down the boulevard

from bar to bar until we couldn't stagger straight

it seemed like we would live forever,

life was not this hard

no we felt nothing much at all but it felt

great



so, don't you cry it'll give you lines

around your eyes

you gotta try not to live so much of

life alone

& if I see you getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle,

take you home, I'll take you home, I'll

take you home.



Things get better everyday you stay alive

then I'm amazed

every day

that the sun decides to rise

every minute, every hour, is another

chance to change

life is beautiful & terrible & strange.



so don't you cry, it'll give you lines around

your eyes

you gotta try not to live so much of life alone

& if i see you getting crazy by the bottom

of the bottle,

take you home, I'll take you home, I'll take you home.



now don't you cry, it'll give you lines around

your eyes

you gotta try not to live so much of life alone

& if you see me getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle,

take me home, take me home, take me home.
