"Don't Just Stand There" lyrics
"Don't Just Stand There"
There's nothing like the way that we've been fucking up these days
There's nothing half as lonesome as the sound our voices make
In defeat
On the edge
Thinking each day up til then
Counting up our pointless failures and regrets
What do we all need to hit us
To knock us on our feet in disgust
With the way we've caved
Under such petty weights
Dragging the past around
It's really all I know - keep moving
It's highs and laying lows to rest with
Used up yesterdays
I'll take the next one straight
I won't live looking back
Sitting on your slanting porch
Familiar streetlights start to blur
You and I don't want to be alone tonight
I won't tell you where I've been
If you don't talk about missing friends
We know tomorrow might bring anything besides
So don't make lousy time with shitheads
Always spare a dime if you can
It's when bitterness
Has you more-or-less
By the throat, that you're done
Wake the fuck up!
Shrug off your mistakes and find a way to move on now
Sitting on your slanting porch
Familiar streetlights start to blur
You and I don't want to be alone tonight
I won't tell you where I've been
If you don't talk about missing friends
We know tomorrow might bring anything besides
