Better Man

She said the room smells like smoke
And I can taste it on your lips
I said I've had a rough week I don't deserve this
I'm doin' all I can to be a better man
To be a better man for you
I've been diggin' my own grave
For 37 days
It's gettin' deeper
It's gettin' deeper
I've been doin' all I can to be a better man
To be a better man for you
She said I hate to see you stay, staying up
staying up late
Trying to fix these problems that you didn't create
I said I'm doin' all I can to be a better man
To be a better man for you
I've been diggin' my own grave
For 37 days
It's gettin' deeper
It's gettin' deeper
I've been doin' all I can to be a better man
To be a better man for you
And every night I lie awake
And think of how things used to be so great and
Everything I used to love is another thing I hate and
I'm doin' all I can to be a better man
To be a better man
It makes me feel sick
Sick to my stomach
Everything you say you'll do is just another broken promise and
I'm doing all I can to be a better man
To be a better man for you
I said I'm doing all I can to be a better man to be a better man for you
I've been diggin' my own grave
For 37 days
It's gettin' deeper
It's gettin' deeper
I've been doin' all I can to be a better man
To be a better man for you

Patiently Waiting

Patiently waiting for you to come home
I'm sick and tired of being alone
I left door unlocked the light's still on
The static from the T.V. mumbles on
Patiently waiting for you to tell me
To tell me your thoughts
I left the water on the sink's almost filled
That's not the only thing that's gonna get spilled
I wish that I could tell you everything
Everything I think about you
Every time you laugh I fall in love and
I wonder if you are falling too
Patiently waiting for you to come home
Hurry back before we get too old
I left the bed unmade it's almost time
For the both of us to say goodnight
I wish that I could tell you everything
Everything I think about you
Every time you laugh I fall in love and
I wonder if you are falling too
I think I love you but I don't know what to do
I wonder if you are falling too
Patiently waiting for you to come home
I'm sick and tired of being alone

Drunk Sing Alongs

Drunk sing alongs
With the boys from back home
Making up the words as we go
We sing along to never feel alone
Slurring the melodies that only we know
Drunk sing alongs
With the kids back at school
Making up the lines and looking like fools
We sing along to never feel alone
Slurring the melodies that only we know
It's funny how the truth comes out
After a few drinks
Saying things that we truly think
I was told that if you drink enough
It'll taste like love
I guess that I haven't had enough
Drunk sing alongs to hum to myself
To keep me company when no one's around
I sing on and on when I'm alone
Slurring the melodies that only I know
It's funny how the truth comes out
After a few drinks
Saying things that we truly think
I was told that if you drink enough
It'll taste like love
I guess that I haven't had enough
I guess that I haven't had enough

Won't Remember Me

Things are different then they were
A year ago
We were kids who didn't know what to do and I still don't know
Everyone wants to be a lawyer
Or a scientist
And I'm just pissed that I didn't get to spend more time with you
Maybe one day you will see me in the streets with my guitar and some newspapers as my sheets and I could die a lucky man but I don't think I will because you won't remember me and I'll miss you still
Things are different than they were
A few days ago
I'm just a man who doesn't know what to do
I have no clue
Everyone wants a million dollars
Or a new car
I just wanna spend a night at the bar
With the friends I once had but have lost
Maybe one day you will see me in the streets with my guitar and some newspapers as my sheets and I could die a lucky man but I don't think I will because you won't remember me and I'll miss you still
I'll miss you still

Hey man
I know you're leaving real soon
Sooner than we thought
I hope you're ready
I hope you know
How much you'll changed
And how much you'll grow
You've got 8 quick years to swallow your fears and
You're gonna make your grandpa proud
You'll serve your time away from state lines but
You've got your friends on your arm
You've got us on your arm
Hey man
I don't know if I told you but
You mean a lot to me
I remember when you were just 14 and you picked up your first guitar
And those times we sang songs in our cars
After you get back we'll hang at the bar and you'll always drink for free
Because you served your country
You've got 8 quick years to swallow your fears and
You're gonna make your grandpa proud
You'll serve your time away from state lines but
You've got your friends on your arm
You've got us on your arm
I know you're gonna be okay
26 seems so far away
I know you're gonna be okay
I know you're gonna be okay
You've got 8 quick years to swallow your fears and
You're gonna make your grandpa proud
You'll serve your time away from state lines but
You've got your friends on your arm
You've got us on your arm
You've got me on your arm
So look down
But keep your head up
So look down
But keep your head up
