Four Years Lyrics by Senses Fail

Life Is Not a Waiting Room

2008

[Verse 1]
I take a shot of Jameson or Jack
To start the morning off with old friends
I'll celebrate like it's the anniversary
Of the day that we first met
I've been practicing our eulogy
Separated all our things
I took my name off of the lease
I'm leaving
[Chorus]
Because dear, four years hurts less than five
And it's never a good time
I am sorry for all my crimes
And the wandering gaze of my unfaithful eyes
[Verse 2]
Now I wonder, as I'm sliding under
The subtle control of the drink
If I have enough left in the bottle
To say all the things I'm thinking
I've been practicing my exit plan
Nervously checking time
I still don't know how I'll survive
[Chorus]
Because dear, four years hurts less than five
And it's never a good time
I am sorry for all my crimes
And the wandering gaze of my unfaithful eyes
[Chorus 2]
It's clear, I am an awful mess
I had to get this off my chest
Soon, the only thing I'll have left
Is your memory, and promises never kept
[Breakdown]
When she came home, I made her sit
My feet tap out a rhythm, as I draw breath in
To hurt the only one I've loved...
This is so damn hard, but I am giving up:
"The person that you love is dead!
I flooded him out with the Jack and Jameson!
So, happy anniversary!
The best gift I could think to give you was to set you free!"
[Outro]
(Wake up, you're sleeping
Wake up, you're sleeping behind the wheel
Wake up, you're sleeping
Wake up, you're sleeping behind the wheel
Behind the wheel)
