Missed The Boat

"While we're on the subject, could we change the subject now?
I was knocking on your ear's door, but you were always out
looking towards the future, we were begging for the past
well, we know we had the good things, but those never seemed to last
oh please just last

everyone's unhappy, everyone's ashamed
well we all just got caught looking at somebody else's page
well, nothing ever went quite exactly as we planned
our ideas held no water but we used them like a dam


of course everyone goes crazy over such and such and such
we made ourselves a pillar, we just used it as a crutch
we were certainly uncertain, at least I'm pretty sure I am
well we didn't need the water, but we just built that good goddamn"
