We're Both Sick Lyrics

If only for a moment

A sympathetic ear

Could actually notice

And tell you that they hear

You crying out in anger

You're sobbing in your car

Your problems and your failures

They are not who you are

The realist will tell you, "This life's not very long."

It'll burn you like the sunshine with no sunscreen to put on

But most days I would tell you, "This shit goes on forever."

It's colder than a fake phone number and you should've brought a sweater

I've put to rest my emotions

I know just where they're lying

Just the thought that I should cry is enough to count as crying

My father once did ask me, "Son, will you please promise this?"

"Don't do what makes you happy, just do what makes you rich."

I think what we are missing is coming into focus

How can we make each other feel better when we're both sick

When God made the ocean he had to stop himself from letting it take over with the power that he felt so leaning over quickly he cupped some in his hands And thought, "Oh, look, how pretty, now they'll have somewhere to stand."

It's beautiful pollution and the garbage piled high and nobody's playing music and there are no fish to fry and the wounds have all healed over and they've And been cauterized and now there's fields of clover where the cars all used to drive

I think what we are missing is coming into focus

How can we make each other feel better when we're both sick

We're both sick

We're both sick

We're both sick

How can we make each other feel better? How can we make each other feel better? How can we make each other feel better? How can we make each Other feel better? How can we make each other feel better? How can we make each other feel better? How can we make each other feel better? How can We make each other feel better?

After we are gone the flowers remain and after we are gone the flowers will remain
