lyrics

Comments like water dry up in the sun
Code that means nothing until somebody hits run
A small coffee table commits to the wait
Of a dozen books or more that carry your name

Declare yourself a failure in every success you’ve had
Because if Charlie Sheen was winning then maybe life’s not so bad
Because this time there’s been worse times

The radiator’s empty there’s no heat again
And the amp’s still broken so don’t you pretend
That the clone of a video game that you always play
Is the thing that you needed to help you escape

Declare yourself a failure in every success you’ve had
Becuase if Charlie Sheen was winning then maybe life’s not so bad
because this time there’s been worse times

But I don’t know what you know
And I won't go where you go
When you declare yourself a failure in every success you’ve had
Because if Charlie Sheen was winning then maybe life's not that bad
And it’s a longer conversation to remind yourself of the fact
That this time there’s been worse times
Yeah this time there’s been worse times
