lyrics

'Just take it all in stride,' she said
And it took me 16 years to figure out what that meant
But forgive me if there's a few things that I still resent
'Cause it's lonely here, despite all of these friends

We've been drinking all these hours
Another night out on the road, haunted by my desires
I've got all these crazy punks keeping me up till dawn
But I'm still drinking on my own

And I'm still singing by myself
I'm still laughing by myself
I'm still screaming out the words to these songs, all by myself
'Cause I can't find nobody else...

And all of this is temporary
All this pain, it too shall pass.
'Cause you wont be lonely when you're dead, and buried in the ground
And you never got the chance to ask...

And I'm still laughing by myself
I'm still surfing by myself
I'm still playing this guitar in the dark, all by myself
'Cause I can't find nobody else...

And I'm standing right in front of you
But I might as well not exist
And i'd be better off if I'd never met you
'Cause this is fucking up everything that I try to do..

And I'm so damn frustrated
Lost in this place that I call home
I've got all my brothers who will always have my back
But I'm still fighting all alone

I am still fighting all alone.

And I'm still walking by myself
I'm still driving by myself
I'm still trying to figure all this out, all by myself
'Cause there just ain't nobody else...

'Just take it all in stride,' she said
Maybe one day, I'll figure out how...
