In a Nutshell...

...I know who I want to take me home.

...And I’m in so deep
You know I’m such a fool for you.
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?

Loaded on wrong...
and further from right
going up
when coming down
scratch away
it's the little things that kill
tearing at my brain again
the little things that kill.

I'm addicted to fools.

She cut me right back down to size.
sleep the day let it fade
...who was there to take your place?

And I say
What about breakfast at [Waffle House]?
...I recall
...I think
We both kinda liked it. 
Well, that's one thing we've got.

I know just what you need. 
I might just have the thing.
...Frustrated Incorporated
Was it only envy?
Forever happily, making misery.

...and I don't understand why I sleep all day.
All I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away
But it's a great escape.

I'm short but I'm healthy
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry.
And what it all boils down to is
that no one's really got it figured out just yet.

...you're just like an angel. 
Your skin makes me cry.

I will buy you that big house way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life.
Yes, I will.

Closing time
You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here.

Every new beginning
comes from some other
beginning's end.
