Song lyrics
And we're drowning you out,
In boasts of defection.
If everything was up to me I would be gone by the first sign.
The first sign of hope I'd be packed up and out of my way.

And time has been spread so thin,
And it's just hours till the day begins.
And the things that are keeping you here are not keeping me here. (At all.)
And the things that are keeping you here will keep me away.

And, "You'll be sorry",
Isn't that what they'll say?
Don't follow your heart cause it just seems to get in your way.

And don't ever leave here.
And mope at your leisure.
And straighten out your crease, dear.
And truth is in a tall beer.

Are you drowning your fears,
In a glass of deception?
When everything is hazy then everything will be ok.
When everything is hazy then you won't be sad that you stayed.

And time has been spread so thin.
And its just hours till the day begins.
And the things that are keeping you here are not keeping me here. (At all.)
And the things that are keeping you here will keep me away.

And, "You'll be sorry",
Isn't that what they'll say?
Don't follow your heart cause it just seems to get in your way.

And don't ever leave here.
And mope at your leisure.
And straighten out your crease here.
And truth is in a tall beer.

This is by far, bar none, my Favorite DC song. How many times have you felt this way, or seen this done to someone, inadvertantly, people that mean something to you, or people that you know can easily drown out hope and say "use your mind, not your heart" when all we, or the person wants to do is follow there heart....."Don't ever leave here, and mope at leisure...straigthen out your crease...and of course we all know...TRUTH IS IN A TALL BEER" LOVE IT!!!
