Pretty Angry (for J. Sheehan)

i wish i drank tequila

I wish i stayed up late

But lately when the sandman comes

You know i just can't wait

No lately i can't wait



And we packed up all your boxes

It's all been hauled away

I never stare at walls so bare

'cause something always stays

Yeah something of you stays



And i wanna shout from my guitar

Come out come out wherever you are

The joke is over open up your eyes

A heart like yours it never dies

And i found your keys behind your chair

I still can see you sitting there

This isn't funny don't fool around

You let me go... you let me down



(chorus)

And i guess i'm still pretty angry

And i don't want to be

I don't know which was the bigger waste of time

Missing you or wishing instead it was me



I wish i walked on water

Pulling rabbits from my sleeve

Guessing cards and saving everyone

I wish i still believed

Oh i wish that i believed



That i could also channel voices

That i've endured the burning blade

That i could make some of your choices

I wish i weren't afraid

Of those choices that you made



Like i could give you what you need

So ally ally oxen free

The game is up and i give in

So show yourself so that you can win

Come claim your prize and i don't care

I still can see you standing there

How you could leave, how you could lie

You cut me off in mid reply



(chorus)



The will to win the urge to race

I still can see it on your face

Thought i'd keep up but only crashed

I wasn't built to move that fast

Thought i could match you stride for stride

But i was on the other side

And holding on to the safety rail

With knuckles white complexion pale

A could of dust and you were gone

Thought i would catch you later on

I limped behind your race was won

But were you racing or on the run?

How you enjoyed, you loved to drive

And i'm destroyed... 'cause i'm alive

'cause i'm alive



(chorus x2)
