V1: 'Member when they played your songs on the radio?
Career attached to a concrete block
descending into a lake
A lake you once called home.
Good looks fading
What's left when it's all gone?
C: The ass you chased, the ass everyone (now) sees.
Became the punchline
You were meant for bigger things.
I want to see how you handle this. (or how will you handle this, how will you handle this?)
V2: Bide your time in big sky country.
Write the songs you want to write
Stick to the hard drugs like sugar and coffee.
Questionable sex acts.
Who am I to judge?
Whatever gets you off.
C: The ass you chased, the ass everyone (now) sees.
Became the punchline
You were meant for bigger things.
I want to see how you handle this.
V3: What happens to the fallen?
What happens when you're down on your luck?
When the spotlight doesn't burn so bright.
Records in the clearance bin.
Hazy moments from yesteryear.
Limited air roation
V4: In a bear costume roaming the grounds.
Breaking pretty girls hearts.
Foolish ways, foolish boy
A heart that didn't melt in the Spring.
C: The ass you chased, the ass everyone (now) sees.
Became the punchline
You were meant for bigger things.
I want to see how you handle this. (or how will you handle this, how will you handle this?)
