It s the children that I feel for,
Yes the children make me feel more,
More than the liqour, more than the art,
More than the Beach Boys records.
It s the drink that gives us heartache,
It s the charity we won t take,
We feel so empty and our late twenties should be better times.
It s the love and the truth and the hope and the faith,
That will destroy us in the end.
It s the look in the eyes of those one night stands that gives us the will to pretend.
It s the feeling of fucking the people that we re loving that spurs us onto endless sleepless nights,
And love will destroy us in the end.
There s not a thing that I can save from all those wasted, wasted days,
And theres no faith that will ever save me from being faithful,
And the damn phone never rings,
And I would give up everything,
For a little wine, some conversation
And just for being healthy.
