The Lawrence Arms - Nebraska (live) lyrics

Hey, Mike, I wish I could help you figure something out But it's been too long since we spoke Your sarcasm radiates unhappiness So withdrawn and rooted deep inside Are you content at 27? Were you hopeful at 17? A void the size of oceans stretches out between us I guess our blood is supposed to be a bridge Can you pull yourself up From this self hatred? Can you pull yourself up? Frustration's driven you to angry dreams Let Nebraska disappear in golden flames of grain I know you can't imagine having company right now There's a world of tired faces who understand this pain There's a better life waiting on the outside Of these decaying walls Of these decaying walls Your bitterness doesn't surprise me As these pointless days go streaming by Rejected, sour eyes can't imagine blue skies Rejected, sour eyes can't imagine blue skies I wish you could find something to live for Besides the agony of bleeding towards this last breath I truly believe that you want more than this This is k**ing you, I truly believe that you want more than this What you want is very simple But somehow so complex to get What you want is very simple But somehow so complex to get Please don't hate yourself Please don't hate yourself Please don't hate yourself Please don't hate yourself Please don't hate yourself Please don't hate yourself I truly believe that you want more than this
