Benjamin Lyrics by Arliss Nancy

Wild American Runners

0

I got a friend
Wrote a million sad songs
About being hopelessly in love with his ex-wife
I like to sing 'em
Yeah I love to sing along
I used to play the bass
But now I just get high in my room

And I listen to the songs from a better time
When she was mine
Before she walked away

At night my choruses all sing together
Well, we're stuck in shitty weather
'til her storm rolls out
I did my best to keep to the backstreets
Hide beneath the city's heat
'til I roll out of this town

Because it's so damn hard to be everything
To everyone
All the time
So I set my sights to be anything
To anyone
Since she was mine

So won't you hold on to your innocence
I swear to god it's the only thing left
That's decent in this town
But if you don't want me around

I'll do my best
To keep to the backstreets
And hide beneath the city's heat 'til I roll out
I never meant
To cause you any pain
To cause you any suffering
I'll shut my goddamn mouth

It's just so damn hard to be anything, to anyone, all the time
