The Lawrence Arms - Nebraska Lyrics
Hey Mike, I wish I couldHelp you figure something out,But it's been too long since we spoke.Your sarcasm radiatesUnhappinessSo withdrawn and rooted deep inside.Are you content at twenty-seven?Were you hopeful at seventeen?A void the size of oceansStretches out between usI guess our blood is suppose to be a bridge.Can you pull yourself upFrom this self-hatred?Can you pull yourself up?Frustration's driven you to angry dreams.Let Nebraska disappearIn golden flames of grain.I know you can't imagineHaving company right now.There's a world of tired facesWho understand this pain.There's a better lifeWaiting on the outsideOf these decaying walls.Of these decaying walls.Your bitterness doesn't surprise meAs these pointless daysGo screaming by.Rejected sour eyesCan't imagine blue skies.Rejected sour eyesCan't imagine blue skies.I wish you could find something to live for,Beside the agony of bleeding towards this last breath.I truly believe that you want more than this (this is killing you).I truly believe that you want more than this.That what you want is very simple,Somehow so complex to get.That what you want is very simple,Somehow so complex to get.Please don't hate yourself.I truly believe that you want more than this.
