Lot to Lose

You’ve got an awful lot to lose

We’ve been gaining all our losses

Drowning in the music

And our minds to unclean causes


All the quarters in my pockets
Make up June


If you want something, take it

And the bottoms of our shoes

Let them burn if we waste this

Just let your thoughts float

To the sea of our basement

Far back home


That life wasn’t meant for us

Why should we even bother?

And I’ll lie still on this floor

As if it were my graveyard

Wondering why no one ever told me

I had any other option


We were waiting for someone to tell us

That the bad things wouldn’t happen

And how could you believe

That good things never happen?

Weren’t you the one who told me

“The good life’s gonna happen,

for us”


And it’s all fine
Just fine 
Lying in the graveyard with you
