You Stay. I Go. No Following.

falling through the cracks
we are dodging the radio waves
and thanks to all your promises
we're picking extra shifts up these days
and it's not paying the bills
working for minimum wage
who needs money anyway
held up our end of the deal
isn't that where you come into play

and i thank you, i thank you for
thank you for absolutely nothing

when you live out your time
in hope of impossibility
we stripped down lies
we treated you like family
credit where credit is due
now the bureau is looking for me
so as you thank us for our patience
expect something else, not a thing

and i thank you, i thank you for
thank you for absolutely nothing
i thank you, i thank you for
thank you for absolutely nothing

up again, it's down again
it's read between the lines again
it's everything but straightforward
crowds are gone, the seasons run
they should be back before too long
this never really happens

so thank you, thank you for
thank you for absolutely nothing
thank you, thank you for
thank you for absolutely nothing
