Tommy Boys - Friends In Theory lyrics

Complaining the way through the week Odd comments that rain on all parades Sick and sore from the shots that you take If I climb to the top of the hill, you'll likely say That you wouldn't hike the same cliff It's safe in your room You're taking up the excuses I use To fend blows but open old wounds Foundation, it's weak at the root Pulling the weeds, topic changes Like when you talk what you can't prove Ignore signs, it's what I'm wanting too Carnations, gardens in bloom eventually decay No water to waste Or I'll spend the next year walking on embers That you walk around, safer ground Straight for the floor Got lost in conversation You're climbing up the stairs, hanging lights And they shine on all of the paintings on your walls I've never stopped to make sense of them Blanking on the faces that you never want to think about If I get up to higher places, drag me down to yours You bound me up a knot or two, set me on the tracks But I don't object to anything Engines pace, don't slow down Well I found a place with no view No windows, just locks on the rooms Ignoring haze and fog you always contend That it's pure rain or sun I had no choice but I still made you one To fictions you compose, I'm not listening too close
