Alkaline Trio - My Standard Break From Life

I've got a regular problem


So my standard break from life is in order


I'm having trouble making sentences


I'm older but I don't feel any smarter


You see I don't know what I said to you


And now you're pissed at you know who


And I guess I deserve it


I wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time


I try to leave a good impression


But it's hard when my obsession's in a wine glass


And when you're only 23


It's not attractive to complain about your sore back


Yes I can bitch until my eyes are blue


And you're in bed with someone new


And I guess you deserve him


Wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time


You say I'm fixable


A classic case, lack of will


I say I don't wanna try


I'd rather stay here all night





I've got a motivation problem


So my standard break from life is getting longer


Spent over 30 hours in this bed


In two days, I guess I could've phoned her


But now that I'm awake


I'd rather take a drink


And walk down to the lake


And beg the sky for lightning bolts


I can't waste my time without wasting all your time


You say it's fixable


A classic case, lack of will


I say I don't wanna try


I'd rather sit here all night
