I came in from the storm and the television's on.
Am          C     Em            D
Celebrities enact fictionalized tales.
             G           C
How could my boring life compete?

  G                            go into the ska beat
I thought about the drugs,
    Em5                           D5        
how I thought they fixed my brain until I was in the dark

rattling containers, scribbling garbage to myself:

       G                          Em
I need constant attention of else I'm gonna get distracted
                Am                        C
but even if you tell me something I can't guarantee I'm listening.

     G                        Em
I've never been in love but I saw Brian Wilson once.
      Am                     C    Em       D                G
I was drunk and screamed too loud over the falsetto in "You Still Believe 
   C
in Me."

    G                           Em
And I thought about the way his catastrophes could make everything okay
        Am               C        Em            D                G
Until I watched the fire fade and former dayglo embers turned to ashy greys 
    C
and blacks.
    Em               D                 G               C
One exhausted triple encore, unplugged bass around his neck.
       Em               D                      G      C
I know fires don't last forever, but I need to find a match because these 
      G
days, fuck, I'm tired.
                Em
I used to be an awesome listener.
               Am                                  C
But now I just drift and out or get pulled away by beats and measures
                                Em                         C
like I don' t have a choice but failure and running from a brighter future.

                   Em                 D                  G
It's never take me back never take me back never take me back 'cause I'm 
    C
not sorry  x3

    D5                           D#5
For all the times I ran away or wasted my vacation days.

It's something I  can't bring myself to say
