All the smokers coming out near gangland
To an early morning rain
Needles stuck inside a groove
Taking tokes to make a move
Finding comfort in the pain
Red eyes drinking old harsh coffee
Anything to start today
Watching weeds in the hedges
Wedge through to the edges
And I'm feeling the same
No this isn't where I thought I'd be by now
Oh this isn't where I thought I'd be by now
Friday dreamers in a concrete jungle
Finding yet another Monday
Mundane earnings for the bread
Tylenol to fix their head
Filled with regrets from yesterday
Ragged gears in an engine turning
Burning hearts and gasoline
Day by day and nothing's changed
Idle beating, still the same
Animals inside a cage
No this isn't where I thought I'd be by now
No this isn't where I thought I'd be by now
I just gotta make it through this world somehow
No this isn't where I thought I'd be by now
When I passed the signs
This answer changed my point of view
What is my life
But looking for a reckoning?
We're all looking for
A place that we can call a home
We're all making plans
Maybe we will be
Old sinners under beat up steeples
Paying penance for the sins
Wondering if this is the end
Apocalypse or parliament
Things we'll never understand
Old photos all slowly fading
We're frail eyed and pale skinned
In all these choices that we make
Right and wrong and good mistakes
Don't regret a single day
Tell me is this where you thought you'd be by now?
Tell me is this where you thought you'd be by now?
You just gotta make it through this world somehow
Tell me is this where you thought you'd be by now?
