[Verse 1]
I'm growing out my hair
Like it was when I was single
It was longer than I've known you
I had no money then
I had no worries then at all
Such a high standard of living
I just feel like I am dying
I'd start an argument
But you can barely even talk
There's good reason for your silence
Have to take care of some business
So I fix your plate
And I stay out of the way

[Chorus]
But you'll stay like that forever
Right in front of your computer
You'll look up one day
But you won't recognize me

[Verse 2]
So you wanna change
Read a letter from a lawyer
Wanna take me out to dinner
You wanna bury me under a mound of shopping bags
Like it'd really make a difference
Or make up for your disinterest
I'm a bill you pay
I'm a contract you can't break
And it's like I'm underwater​
Or on an endless escalator
I just go up and up
But I don't ever reach the top
[Chorus]
And it reads just like the bible
Twenty centuries of scandal
Yeah, it all depends on how you interpret it

[Bridge]
The word is: love
The word is: loss
The words are: damaged goods
That's what I am
A lifetime gets chalked-up to an experience
Coincidence
We're chained to the events
That's it
