Lyrics

[Verse 1] Staring at trophies in milk crates On the floor of a northeastern garage Wondering how it's all such a blessing And why it's all so damn hard [Verse 2] It's the Massachusetts Turnpike And when I get home, I'll creep down the hall Snow in the headlights, they call it a dream But the world's flat, and I'm falling off [Pre-Chorus] Hold your arms out, jump, hell, at least you tried I fall short, I always fall behind [Chorus] I hate letting people down I hate letting people down I hate letting people down and I do it all the time [Verse 3] I never wanted to hurt you But I'm elbows deep in that dirt I still count every unplanted seed I write down every unspoken word [Pre-Chorus] Hold your arms out, God help the justified I fall short, I always fall behind [Chorus] I hate letting people down I hate letting people down I hate letting people down and I do it all the time [Bridge] You get up for work every day You drag yourself right out there The arms of those angels are wrapped around the dreams you left I look the other way, pretending not to notice I don't know how it died but I know where the ghost is [Chorus] I hate letting people down I hate letting people down I hate letting people down but I do it all the time I'm sorry, I hate letting people down I'm sorry, I hate letting people down And I do it all the time
