Verse 1

I'm the

tall glass of water you lost in your kitchen

I'm

casually cruel like a senior prediction

Most

likely to leave at the sign of a fork in the

road

You looked

just like your father as the news was delivered

Cut a

hole in my heart that bled into my liver

I miss

being alone when it didn't mean being

alone

Verse 2

And if

love was contagious, I might be immune to it

Pain's like cold water, your brain just gets used to it

try to keep swimming and keep Dad's good word in my

mouth

Now they're f

ighting like dogs in thе town across the river

Over a b

rand new crosswalk that won't matter come winter

And some

times folks just need something to be angry ab

out

What you angry ab

out?

Chorus

I ain't b

itter 'bout much these days

In some ways, I'm damn

lucky to be here

Where the m

iners stayed in the g

ood old days

Yes, real

men used to sleep here

By those r

oadside graves where my fr

iends still lay in

I walk

by just to weep here

They say

killing time ain't a

homicide

But a

prayer for a leap year

Verse 3

I'm the r

oach in your drawer, I lived here long before you

I'm the r

umble of war, it gets h

ard to ignore you

Well, l

ove, sometimes folks just need something they can scream at

Scream at

I'm the h

ills in the distance, you see me, can't be me

You n

eed me in half, Lord, I need you completely

Oh,

sometimes folks just need something they can scream at

Chorus

I ain't b

itter 'bout much these days

In some ways, I'm damn

lucky to be here

Where the m

iners stayed in the g

ood old days

Yes, real

men used to sleep here

By those r

oadside graves where my fr

iends still lay in

I walk

by just to weep here

They say

killing time ain't a

homicide

But a p

rayer for a leap year

They say

killing time ain't a

homicide

But a p

rayer for a leap year

Outro

I'm on r

unning ground, I'm in B

ordertown

I'm a c

ollege kid with my w

indows down

I'm an a

stronaut, you're the m

oon

I stare at

you, I sing to

you

I'm on r

unning ground, I'm in B

ordertown

I'm a c

ollege kid with my w

indows down

I'm an a

stronaut, you're the m

oon

I sing to

you, I scream to

you

I'll stare at

you, I'll sting at

you
