The Year We Fell Behind

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Heaven doesn't settle with the server The clicks don't always correspond to the numbers on the dial She's open to discuss a little further But there's something insincere inside her smile [Verse 2] We were fighting about how I had financed the foundation I was trying to bring up any other topic Than how I'm driving 'round and dropping off a certain sort of package To supplement my thin and dismal prospects [Chorus 1] The meds, they gave her distant eyes The windowsills were filled with flies She didn't leave the house there for a long time The storm rolled in so slowly The destruction became boring The story of the year we fell behind [Bridge] I was a seeker, I was a scout Was a believer before all the doubt Don't blame the city, I blame the deceivers The lights from the barrooms can burn through good people I was a plaything, I was a pawn I couldn't believe how much they all wanted So much consumption, they all wanted something [Verse 3] Devil makes his money on the small moves All-at-once has never been his style She said, "If we can hustle hard enough, I think we'll probably make it" But there was something insincere inside her smile [Chorus 2] Sliding to the shortest view We can maybe take like one or two It's later in the game, I think you'll find You start throwing into coverage Trying to force a low percentage To make up for the way you fell behind [Refrain] That's the story of the year we fell behind That's the story of the year we fell behind That's the story of the year we fell behind The story of the year we fell behind That's the story of the year we fell behind The story of the year we fell behind That's the story of the year we fell behind The story of the year we fell behind (The clicks don't always correspond to the numbers on the dial) (Devil makes his money on the small moves) (All-at-once has never been his style)
