Cold Shoulder

from Different Seas by Sandtimer

/

lyrics

Hey guys, what're you doing tonight?
I saw a movie yesterday where the main character dies
and it's hard to believe that we'll never quite achieve
what we want to in our lives.

Back in the day, hey, I thought we all had it made.
But now we're all just wandering in a six foot cave
and it's not much of a reprieve when three of you leave
and one of you stays.

Don't give me the cold shoulder,
'cos I've been pushing boulders over streams
to keep myself together, never rupture the seams.

Oh hell, well I'm back here again.
I'm tired of the same but I don't like change,
well I'm back here again.
And I'm not wasting my time, but I'm not using it well,
what a story to tell.

I always thought there'd be an ending of sorts-
a blind crossfade and a bleached out frame and an orchestral swell-
but I left it behind, and the end credits theme
would only play in my mind.

Don't give me the cold shoulder,
'cos I've been pushing boulders over streams
to keep myself together, never rupture the seams.

Stepping out in the morning, pinch yourself awake.
Keep your eyes on the sand falling, keep yourself awake.

I'm not wasting my time but am I using it well?
What a story to tell.
Oh, and I'm not wasting my time but am I using it well?
What a story to tell.

Don't give me the cold shoulder,
'cos I've been pushing boulders over streams
to keep myself together, never rupture the seams.

Hey guys, what're you doing tonight?
I saw a movie yesterday where the main character dies.
