lyrics

I know I was just a bookend to you
put there to hold your stories up while you found something new
but you gave me your consolation prize
a little something for your efforts and a shot right at my pride

don't know what I was thinking
giving everything that I have
looking for a new end to the
same old story

I want it back
every single thing I said to make you laugh
I want it in tact
there's just some victories I really need to have

I've been keeping my hands in my pockets for a little while
trying to keep my chin up without sticking my nose into the air
but they want me to take this bribe
caught cold like I'm faded or I never tried
but if I'm going down
they'll have to go to the cards, yeah he lost
but the man can fight fair

don't know what I was thinking
giving less than all that I have
looking for a new end to the same old story

I want it bad
the kind of happiness the cynics scoff at
don't want it to lack
any properties I think it should have

down in the foothills of Georgia
I spent a lot of time looking up toward
higher peaks; greener leaves
I think I'm ready to scale the bluffs
and I'm taking you with me
but you should speak if you've had enough

don't know what I was thinking
giving less than all that I have
looking for a new end to the same old story

I want it back
the kind of happiness I had in photographs
I want it to last
not the kind that you blink and then it's passed
