Contrast And Compare (Companion Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Contrast and compare Between the busy ones and the ones who don't care Until there is no one That you really know [Verse 2] So I drift through this day Of appointments and promises made They'll all end up broken And quickly replaced [Verse 3] Weeks are slow Days drag on Even practise and parties seem long I guess there's nothing to do, oh well [Verse 4] Group of kids Line of cars More will show up after the bars close There's this boredom that drowns everything [Verse 5] Bottles break Music plays Conversations competing for space I look for a corner Or a quieter room [Verse 6] There's no heat (There's no heat) In this house (In this house) I can't breathe with these words in my mouth But I'm not gonna say them Yeah, I made that mistake before [Verse 7] On the stairs She grabs my arm Says, "What's up? Where've you been? Is something wrong?" I try to just smile And say, "Everything's fine"
