Pain is temporary

You took the dog I took the freedom To take a chance and start believing That I could get over you in the natural healing of time I went on a date to drown the pain And I kissed a girl to forget your name But nothing will help me escape When you live in the plans that I made How much heartache can a human take? If love is pain then I guess I'm doing okay The fog is thick and I can't hear your voice Nothing seems real to me anymore Especially not on a cliffside in Arizona When my family's living their dog days back in Georgia How much heartache can a human take? If love is pain then I guess I'm doing okay Oh if lovin' then love 'em in pain babe If lovin' then love 'em in pain yeah Oh if lovin' then love 'em in pain If lovin' then love 'em in pain yeah I tried to fill the hole with everything It erodes back to the memory Of all that I ever longed for Standing in the driveway How much heartache can a human take? If love is pain then I guess I'm doing okay

It's that time again, I'm back with my best friends On this road we all know too well Packed all our bags, shoved in the back seat We've got plenty of time to kill What's on the list, let's hit up the valley Get a little drunk and play the show badly I don't give a fuck These are the days I'll be telling my kids I hope to leave a footprint behind That won't erase with time At least we can look back on everything That we've accomplished and still remember If there's something you wanna be Then go make it reality You live every day like a movie scene 'Cause when you get cut, you can change your thing When I'm all washed up and I have no career When I can't hear shit, got that ring in my ear At least we can look back on everything that we've accomplished And say, man those were the years Our time is closing in, so make the best of it The hard days, our pain and all the rest of it Just put it on the shelf like everybody else So pick up the pieces and make something more of yourself If there's something you wanna be Then go make it reality You live every day like a movie scene 'Cause when you get cut, you can change your thing If there's something you wanna be Then go make it reality You live every day like a movie scene 'Cause when you get cut, you can change your thing I've got debt, a shit job, I know how it ends I've lost touch with some friends, and that I regret I can't change the past when it's set like cement Even the good days come to an end I can't change the past when it's set like cement Even the good days come to an end If there's something you wanna be Then go make it reality You live every day like a movie scene 'Cause when you get cut, you can change your thing If there's something you wanna be Then go make it reality You live every day like a movie scene 'Cause when you get cut, you can change your thing What you get is what you see So make the best before you leave One more reason? Everything is temporary We all want longevity But it's not reality These days will end eventually 'Cause everything is temporary

Don't fall down tonight You're alive and so am I Hold on we might hot-wire This old car and drive Sticks and stones They say but we don't have bones inside our brains If bones are the walls between you and I then I feel pretty tempted To beat myself with sticks and stones, anyway I've got a ray gun in my bag, a treasure map under my hat And I'll never miss a headshot or a dotted line I've spent way too much time thinkin about dreamin about life To miss the point, which is just listen 'Cause I've listened for mine
