David Bazan - Broken Arm lyrics

You used to sound like a smoker Shivering in the cold Waiting outside the bar Till the openers open But now you sound like a drinker Twenty days off the sauce Down at the liquor storer Trying to call your sponsor Used to sound like a forest fire burning But now you sound like a child Throwing tantrums for your turn You used to sound like a teacher That everyone wanted to know How you could tell the truth Without losing that soft glow But now you sound like a preacher Winning another soul Of some drunk fisherman Chasing after the white whale Used to sound like a forest fire burning But now you sound like a child Throwing tantrums for your turn
