Troubled Times

Fountains Of Wayne



When you think you've found something worth holding onto

Were you reaching for attention, hoping she would notice you

Collecting bottles and thrown-away cans

Like she was returnable

One day would refill your hands

How she loved you, all you imagined

Fit so well into your plans

Maybe one day soon

It'll all come out

How you dream about each other sometimes

With a memory of

How you once gave up

But you made it through the troubled times



Pining away every hour in your room

Rolling with the motion, waiting til it's opportune

Sitting there watching time fly past you

Why do tomorrow

What you could never do

How she loved you

All you imagined

All the shit you put her through



Maybe one day soon

It'll all come out

How you dream about each other sometimes

With a memory of

How you once gave up

But you made it through the troubled times



And it takes a lot of nerve to ask how she is doing

Start with a weak foundation, you will end in ruins

The way the days and hours pass you'll never understand

Falling like rain through your hands



Maybe one day soon

It'll all come out

How you dream about each other sometimes

With a memory of

How you once gave up

But you made it through the troubled times
