Muddy Waters

I see you my friend
A lost soul in muddy waters
Find a passing ledge
So you rest your hands
You feel so safe
And feel so wanted

And another chance goes by
But your eyes were shut
And you were lost in the wrong arms
So deep, that you never woke up

Then the pleasant time is over
And you see another sunset
Holding a new hand, you wonder
Will he be your saviour
So you kiss his cold wet lips
And give yourself in
Well another disappointment
When you wake up all alone

And days, they pass you by
You thinkin', when this chase will end
Don't shed those tears
They're just a passing phase
Is this disgrace?

Running to a new place all day
Stepping in new shoes all night
Waking up as a different person everyday
Do you still remember the real you?

Swimming in muddy waters
Someday come out as yourself
Don't need another hand to save you
All you ever need is you

Summer of '08

[Here is to Divya]

You got your first real six-string
Bought it at five grand damn!
Played it till the G-string broke
It was the summer of zero eight

You and some bro from blog
Had some drinks and got real high
Your bro quit, but you kept drinking
Should've known you'll get hit hard

Oh, when we watched those plays
Those dramas seemed to last forever
And if we had a choice
Yeah, we'd never be there
Those were the best days of our lives

Ain't no use in complainin'
When I've got a job to do
You spent your life in law school
Only vacations is when we meet yeah!

Sitting at the nearby Mac
We'd eat and discuss life forever
Oh the way we dropped there cheese
We knew the stain'd still be there
Those were the best days of our lives

Back in the summer of zero eight

Man we were kickin' ass
We joined kickboxin' class
We reached NCPA at last
Our talks didn't last forever, no

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I have drink with Patrick
I think about ya, wonder what's going on

With the winds in our hair
Ran to the hills like never
Biking to the unknown lands
We thought we'd stay lost forever
Those were the best days of our lives

Back in the summer of zero eight
