It’s Not Getting Any Good

Lyrics

[Verse 1] While I'm / working to afford to have fun with you I'm distracted To / stillness by the thinking of you from beach to top mountains Paula this / in-distinguished suburb grinds my sleep teeth to ruin and powder You know it to be / true you heard it held me woke me close whispered how it'll [Pre-Chorus 1] Be soon you said / worry baby sleepy head [Chorus 1] But it's not getting any good That's a bandage / that we've been using (That's a bandage, a we-ooh, we-ooh, whoa-oh) Best of a decade / not while we're here in Secaucus bound (Some-bah, some-body-ah) But it's not getting any good [Verse 2] Cut back to / me young and un-pressured in contrast to aunts and to uncles 8 and 10 / older at the cusp of adulthood away walk from play time I knew then of / those days gold status how they'd look back to fix their hearts worn (worn) And yet here I am write of when I had so many they were of [Pre-Chorus 2] No value when Laid unnumbered end to end [Chorus 2] But it's not getting any good Let's stop pretending / in never endings (Let's stop pretending, a we-ooh, we-ooh, whoa-oh) Another decade / or until we're out of the hope you found (Some-bah, some-body-ah) But it's not getting any good Let's abandon / this house to Camden (Let's abandon, a we-ooh, we-ooh, whoa-oh) Messed up a decade / let's get away from these home and towns (Some-bah, some-body-ah) But it's not getting any good Cause something's missing / we hide by kissing (Cause something's missing, a we-ooh, we-ooh, whoa-oh) Rest up a decade / we'll need our strength to escape this town (Some-bah, some-body-ah) Can't tell myself from hopes I've drowned (Some-bah, some-body-ah) Can't tear myself from this safety town (Some-body-ah, some-bah) Can't tell each other from stupid clowns (Some-body-ah, some-body-ah, some-bah) But it's not getting any good
