[Verse 1]
Dog bones are brittle when they're thrown
How's a man supposed to know
I drove off in my car alone
Imbued in trepidations all of my own

[Chorus]
Off again
Far from sight
'Cause I'm always on that side
Oh come on
Get it together man
That's just oversimplified

[Verse 2]
Those days were real
Resplendent but concealed
The day we drove out to the lake
You told me learn to not hold onto mistakes

[Chorus]
But I'm off again
Far from slight
'Cause I'm always on that side
Oh come on
Get it together man
That's just oversimplified
[Bridge]
The night grew dark
My eyelids thin
You called me up
You said you wanted to
I asked you how you're doing in school
You asked me how my father's been
I told you, I told you
Everything [x4]

[Verse 3]
Dog bones are brittle when they're thrown
How's a man supposed to know
I wrote it down for me to read
Gone on and dug it up from the garden's seed [x2]

[Chorus]
Off again
Far from sight
'Cause I'm always on that side
Oh come on
Get it together man
That's just oversimplified

[Outro]
Oh come on
Get it together
But it's just oversimplified
