lyrics

Though I hate to say
"We made a mistake"
I'm an ashtray and
These are the days

And we will miss them so
When they have all gone
It's the nostalgia
Fondly look back on

These dreams these
Thoughts and ideals
That we conceive of
Hey mam
Hey man
I'm just trying love

These dreams these
Thoughts and ideals
That we conceive of
Hey mam
Hey man
I'm just trying love

And then we'll say some shit
About how at least we tried
All we did was didn't die
Suffice to say I want more of life

These complacent friends of mine
Have no standard of time
Just a bottle of wine and a dime bag
Just one bottle of wine and a dime bag

Thoughts and ideals
That we conceived of
Hey mam
Hey man
I'm just trying to love

These dreams, these thoughts
and ideals that we conceived of
Hey mam
Hey man
I'm just trying to love

She only had two beers
How did we end up here?
Now I'll hold her hair

It's my proof to you you mean
Something profound to me
Even in the morning
Wake up early, you're dressing
You think

We can pick up and leave off
At any point in time
Hey mam
I can't subscribe to that kind of life
We can't pick up and leave off
At any point in time
Hey mam
I can't subscribe to that kind of life
