lyrics

Trying to grow up with some sort of dignity
I'll warn you right now it aint always pretty
There's times I have too much to drink
There's nights when I can't even think
and there's a low place where I sometimes sink

I question my judgement I doubt my decisions
Sometimes success is just a trick of the vision
The writer has run out of ink
The skater grows tired of circling the rink
The writer has run out of ink
The skater grows tired of circling the rink

Sometimes the grass is greener wherever I'm not
and there's a whole lot of answers that I haven't got
Sometimes the answer is no
Sometimes green doesn't mean go

A kiss is as good as a fist, when its delivered like this
A kiss is as good as a fist, when it's delivered like this

It didn't work but I wanted it to
Still worth the trouble from my point of view
