lyrics

I was looking out the window, wishing it would rain,
Thinking about a thousand things I could've done today,
I know, I know, the nights are just as long.
Aw, but these days it seems, there's just too much going on.

She said the miles will turn to memories and the reaper's on the fence,
I'm just trying to solve the problems of the past and present tense.
I know, I know, it's darkest 'fore the dawn.
Aw, but these days it seems, there's just too much going on.

I keep running round these questions, and there's things that I don't need
A phone that won't stop ringing and a heartbreaking machine.
I know, I know, I can break it on my own.
Aw, but these days it seems, there's just too much going on.

It's a subtle disconnection, but it's one I've always known,
Just because you're lonesome doesn't mean you're all alone.
I know, I know, it sounds better in a song.
Aw, but these days it seems, there's just too much going on.
