lyrics

Every day I’m walking in my sleep
Running a race at a pace I can't keep
No matter what I tell you I cant help but give a fuck about the Joneses

Every night I’m waking in a daze
Sweating it out while my dreams wash away
And staring at the ceiling I can’t help but give a fuck about the Joneses.

Life is long
You can’t write the future like you write a love song
If you lie awake waiting for the sun
It’s never gonna come

The black and blue is fading from my jeans
It’s rubbing you up wrong / sticks on me
I can feel I’m getting callous from the pressure of my fingers on the strings

Life is long
You can’t write the future like you write a love song
If you lie awake waiting for the sun
It’s never gonna come

Don’t the days go slow?
Out here on my own
Put a record on
Goodnight Mr Jones

Life is long
You can’t write the future like you write a love song
If you lie awake waiting for the sun
It’s never gonna come

Life is long
You can’t write the future like you write a love song
Die awake waiting for the sun
But it’s never gonna come until you put your shit to be and run

And no matter what I tell you I can't help but give a fuck about the Joneses
