Past It

I don't want the drama of no-one else
I'm happy on the shelf
Leaking memories
Besides, I don't think there's anyone
Desperate or dumb
Enough to go on the run with me

Do I really have any business now
Singing this song and sounding like I did when I was 18
Ain't it embarrassing now to see
Someone who looks like me
Feeling sorry on TV

I don't mind the boredom
I just get to thinking
And that ain't good for no one
I don't mind the ageing
You get used to sinking
If it happens slow

Who in the hell is still listening?
Do you really care
What a mess I'm in
This time?
I was a name in chalk outside
Past it
Wasted
Tired

I'm a whole new set of anxieties
It got the best of me
When I sold all my baby teeth
It's not a mystery why I can't
Sleep
I'm an Ativan
Away from losing myself in me

I can be forgotten
I don't care about that anymore
And I don't mind the waiting
Just look at all the sunsets I've endured

I don't mind the boredom
I just get to thinking
And that ain't good for no one
I don't mind the ageing
You get used to sinking
If it happens slow

Oh, as long as I'm living, I may as well write it down

Who in the hell is still listening?
Do you really care
What a mess I'm in
This time?
I was a name in chalk outside
Past it
Wasted
Tired

Past it
Wasted
Tired
