"Best Years" lyrics

"Best Years"

Well my knees are creaking
My ears are ringing
It's like my body's singing
Some kind of broke down lullaby
But I just keep rolling
Like marbles on the hardwood
Yeah I scatter like the stars would
Before I quit looking to the sky

And one too many times
When you're always leaving
Nobody cares if you stay
And some nights when I drive
I'm not sure who steers
I can't tell if I'm wasted
Or just wasting all my best years

She said you look thinner
Are you skipping dinner?
Or are you skipping everything?
Because even when you're here
You're not really there
I said I'm always tired
But I am never sleepin'
It's like somebody creeps in
And turns on the goddamn hallway light

Every single night
When you're always leaving
Nobody cares if you stay
Some nights when I drive
I'm not sure who steers
I can't tell if I'm wasted
Or just wasting all my best years

I used to live here
In a pile of steel and lumber
Yeah, I used to have a number
Now I just sit and count the days
And we had a kitchen
Where you would burn that breakfast
And I would call you reckless
Now I just never think to call

And one too many times
When you're always leaving
Nobody cares if you stay
And some nights when I drive
I'm not sure who steers
I can't tell if I'm wasted
Or just wasting all my best years

And one too many times
When you're always leaving
Nobody cares if you stay
And some nights when I drive
I'm not sure who steers
I can't tell if I'm wasted
Or just wasting all my best years

I'm always tired
But I am never sleepin'
I'm always tired
But I am never sleepin'
