lyrics

well i had a lot to say last night i'm sorry did i say that to you i talk so much shit i forget who i'm talking to cos my mouth is like a sinking boat i keep pouring words out trying to keep afloat but the more i try to dry out the more i get soaked then i say "i'm not as bad as i seem" but i used to be better can't you see you of all people should know that this ain't really me and that's gonna change how you feel about me baby but it won't change me somebody found me on the floor i must have been passed out from the two nights before if you don't send my ragged ass to bed i'll quote God again so don't tell me hell ain't there i feel it every morning when i climb the stairs why can't i sleep all night a drink should get me right you didn't mean to be mean but everything sounds more meaningful when you scream well if you really wanna raise your voice to me it's gonna change how i feel about you buddy but it won't change me
then you can write me off as just white trash well it don't take much to see that when i swear the every hangover's gonna be my last it looks like only whiskey can kick my ass and make me still come back so Jesus guide me with your light you can enlighten me men with everlasting insight but i've had thoughts about you that are gonna keep you up tonight and being good is killing me inside i don't wanna go to bed with you tonight it's gonna change who i am and that ain't right then i'll say "it's not all that bad" if i can't change who i am why do i try so goddamn hard i just keep telling myself "man, it ain't eternity" and that's gonna change how you feel about me Jesus but it won't change me...

There's only one track on this whole album I don't adore. The other nine would be my favorite track on almost any other album they stumbled into. "Years" is like the perfect Best Of album for a band that's been steadily putting out records for decades. 'Caroline Reese and the Drifting Fifth' level stuff here. burrito741
