Shortsighted Lyrics by Rumbletramp

Time Dilations

2014

True love is a freight train
And we were meant to be
The time that I spend with her
Is the only time I'm free
I hope you find your true love too
To cheer you up when you feel blue
I promise you, I'll try not to be sad if it ain't me
'Cause life's too short to be hanging around
Wasting all your time just feeling helpless
Paranoid and upside down
Wondering if that old friend
Is ever gonna make her way through town
Feeling sentimental about those times
You know won't ever circle 'round
Truе love is a bottle
But that's just 'cause I'm wеak
I don't hit the bottle
No, the bottle it hits me
I hope you leave your true love too
Like I am always meaning to
And laugh and live and love
And do just what you wanna do
'Cause life's too short to be trying to drown
Trading all your money
Just for one more night that you can black out
Waking in a cold sweat
Flinching hard at every light and sound
I'm tapping out
I hope all your dreams come true
Except those nightmares haunting you
I hope your sleep is sweet and deep
And shared with pleasant company
Me, I'll keep bouncing around
East-bound, north-bound, west-bound, south
Until they nail my coffin shut
And shove me in the ground
I'll move on up to Canada and pick some apples there
I'll move to Colorado
Where those ancient mountains stand
I'll move on down to New Orleans
And start a jazz-punk band
I'll move to California
And I'll sleep out in the sand
'Cause life's too short to be hanging around
Trading all your time
Just saving up to have a kid or buy a house
I know that there's no paradise
But I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself
I'm tapping out
